Eight months ago, James Gandolfini drove his white SUV out of the parking lot of Satriale's for the last time, as HBO wrapped up the final season of "The Sopranos." Now, the building has followed the same fate as the popular show. It's gone.Nine condo units will replace the former storefront. The project is called "The Soprano", and prices range from $325,000 to $385,000. Construction is expected to start in the spring and would be finished in about a year.
Now that Satriale's has been demolished, Costeira has been using the Internet to hawk chunks of cast stone from the facade. He said he's already sold about 1,000 pieces in two sizes, for $25 and $50, to fans as far away as Ireland and New Zealand.
Instead of the fake pork store, which was always shuttered, you can take a trip to the Holsten's, a real-life Bloomfield ice cream parlor where the series' final scene was filmed. "They now sample onion rings at Holsten's, and sit in the booth that Tony sat in," Baron said.
