Christie's is holding a pop culture auction this summer and their sale will include none other than Tony Soprano's most notable wardrobe items. The auction takes place on June 25th (almost a year after the series finale, and the tag sale) and WNBC reports that the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, a Florida-based group assisting severely wounded soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. While some pieces of the Gandolfini garb may go for......

Remember the summer night that Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" rang throughout the homes of Sopranos fans? Followed by a good week or two of debate on how David Chase chose to whack the series, everyone on the inside was pretty silent. Now Chase is speaking out about his decision. The AP reports:He strongly suggests that, no, Tony Soprano didn't get whacked moments later as he munched onion rings with his family at Holsten's. And mostly......

Tonight at 9PM, The Sopranos will air its final episode on HBO. It marks six seasons over eight years where viewers got to know NJ mob boss Tony Soprano, his blood family and his mob family. Creator David Chase filled each episode with enough angst, passion, violence, and intensity to make pretty much anything else on TV seem half-hearted. As we approach the final hours before we say good bye to Tony, Carm, Paulie......

Almost two years ago, Mark Fisher's body was found on Argyle Road, "wrapped in a blanket, shot five times in the torso and dumped near the curb," after an evening of partying. It was a mysterious incident, a white college student from the NJ suburbs and a Connecticut college found murdered in Brooklyn, but now a trial has begun and it seems that Fisher was killed for a number of reasons: Sitting on someone's table......

The San Gennaro Festival is underway (Neil emailed us this picture he took with his cameraphone) but even though the festival is trying to distance itself from mob associations, it's a hard task, especially when being in the mob is kind of hip (hello, Tony Soprano). The NY Times' Dan Barry wrote in his column that the Festival's "Spot the Mobster" game (a "crowd-pleaser") "all but disappeared a decade ago." And the mob has been......

Just what NYC hasn't been waiting for: The AWOL USA Alcohol Without Liquid machine, that turns whiskey or vodka into a breathable mist. Yeah, Gothamist has no idea why, since most people have got mouths. Apparently, the machine gives breathers a "euphoric high" rather than a massive buzz (or hangover), and will debut tonight in the Meatpacking District at Trust Lounge. But one NYU med school professor thinks it's problematic since people will not realize......

Seems like a crazy fish made its way to Rockland County: Apparently, at the New Square Fish Market, a carp started to talk in Hebrew. Besides the fact that this article is an excuse for Corey Kilgannon to use Yiddish, it reveals that the Hasidic community is trying to understand what this really means. "The story goes that a 20-pound carp about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner began speaking......
