The day they whacked "Holsten's Ice Cream Parlor"

In My Humble Opinion
1

It was made famous by the filming of the last episode of The Sopranos. I’ve had ice-cream there. It was good.

(Yes, Applegate’s is good too… but they were different experiences. Applegate’s was a drive up. You almost expected waitresses on roller-skates. Holsten’s had wood booths… Maple I think. )

.

I never thought they’d get Holsten’s…

“It’s gone.”
“What do you Mean it’s gone?”
“It’s gone. It’s gone… and there was nothing we could do…”

Are you saying it’s closed? If so, I see no mentions about it on Twitter, Google, Facebook, Reddit, Yelp, local media sites or their own homepage. Or what am I missing?

( It was listed on a local town FB site that they were closing. It was part of a list of local restaurants that were losing due to COVID. )

There’s a NJ.com list of restaurants we “can’t afford to lose” due to COVID, because they’re too legendary. Holsten’s is on the list but hasn’t said they’re closing, at least not yet.

5

If I was misled, it was by FB. There was an article about it that read like an obituary.

There was nothing they could do, the chocolate moose tracks were made, and they weren’t.

Holsten’s never had the makings of a varsity ice cream shop anyway.
