It was great following part of the journey of the opening titles including Pizzaland and the Giant log man. The stop at Holstens ( the final scene) and to have a chance of the best onion rings on New York state was great finished off with a trip to the site of the building used for the Bada Bing. My wife found it enjoyable even though she hadn’t watched the show but had tolerated my self indulgence on this occasion. Soprano fans will not be disappointed.”
