I can find lists of landmarks he passes, but I’m not familiar with the area so I don’t really have any frame of reference.
Is anyone aware of a map of the route?
Based on the impressions I have gotten from reading about similar excursions, the route would have to be broken up into uindividual settings which would make up a very disjointed journey – impossible to drive continuously in reality.
A similar situation is the route the cars took in the Bullitt car chase which I remember as being almost comic in how jumpy it is.
Precise geography in such things is way down the list of important considerations. But I’ve yet to see a precise layout of the settings.
Doesn’t he go through the Holland Tunnel, and by Newark Airport?
I remember before 2001, you could see the World Trade Center in the distance. They later cut that footage.
Although this is more than you asked for, you might enjoy The Sopranos Location Guide.
Well, I was hoping that most of those locations would work as a connect-the-dots, but not so much. Assming Tony starts at the Lincoln Tunnel and ends up in Caldwell. However it appears that many of the shots were taken on/from I-95, which isn’t on that route.
I don’t think the intention was to show you a particular route he drove from Point A to Point B; I think it was intended to show the guy driving all over Northern NJ, not necessarily on a single journey, but covering some of the areas he goes to as the boss. ‘This is my backyard’, so to speak.
That was my impression.
