The iconic New Jersey restaurant booth featured in the series finale of HBO's The Sopranos has brought big bucks at auction. Fans of the show know the booth, the burgundy one with the yellow formica top where Tony Soprano sat with his family before the screen suddenly went black in 2007. Holsten's in Bloomfield put the booth up for auction on eBay last week, hoping to get ten-grand.
