The Sopranos "On Location"

The New Skyway Diner - Kearny, NJ

  In episode 21 "Full Leather Jacket" who will forget the ending when Christopher gets shot walking to his car. If you live in Hudson County, the Pulaski Skyway visible in the background was a dead giveaway as to where this was shot. HBO used "The New Skyway Diner" on Central Ave in Kearny, NJ. The locals refer to this part of town as "South Kearny". 
   
  After being shot several times Christopher manages to kill one of his assailants. The lower picture shows the scene in the direction the car sped away, showing the trucking company across from the diner. 

Irish Heritage Park - Kearny, NJ

  In episode 25 "The Knight in White Satin" Tony has a meeting with Richie and his boys. Tony's boys complain that they don't receive any respect and Tony replies that those who expect to receive respect must give respect. That meeting was filmed in Kearny, NJ at the Irish Heritage Park on Passaic Ave just South of the K-Mart store. I recognized the location from the white storage tanks located along Rt. 21 in Newark.

Cleveland Auto Body - Pussy's Garage - Kearny, NJ

  Pussy's garage, first shown when Tony's son had an accident with the family car is actually Cleveland Auto Body in Harrison, NJ. HBO had luxury of having a clean lot, but the local residents I spoke with confirmed the location! 

Tanning Salon - Kearny, NJ

  One of Furio's first jobs was to collect the weekly payroll from the local Tanning Salon that also happened to provide sexual services. He stormed in with a baseball bat and proceeded to perform some chiropractic adjustments to the owner in the back room. Moments later, Tony is in his car and Dr. Melfi calls him on his cell phone. Since HBO shot that scene the building was home to a gift shop and is now vacant. It's located at 801 Kearny Avenue in Kearny, just a few blocks South of the movie theater.
