Last week, on Thursday, January 10, The Sopranos celebrated the 20th anniversary of its iconic premiere on HBO. Quite a lot has changed since the boundary-breaking drama first debuted, but one thing hasn’t: the many locations where The Sopranos filmed. In honor of the show’s anniversary, Page Six traveled to various New Jersey homes, restaurants, and scenic spots that appeared in the series, many of which look exactly the same as they did during Tony, Paulie, and Christopher’s time, even all these years later.

Naturally, a tour of The Sopranos‘ locations must begin with a stop at Tony (James Gandolfini) and Carmela’s (Edie Falco) home. 20 years later, the exterior of the house looks exactly the same, with the exception of one tree, which has quadrupled in size since Tony first waddled back up the driveway with his newspaper. Vesuvio Restaurant, which was bombed in the very first episode (Artie Bucco later brought it back as Nuovo Vesuvio in a new location), also looks the same, save for an awning that reads “Manolo’s Restaurante.” The Page Six team also visited Passaic Falls in Paterson, New Jersey, and Livia Sopranos’ home in Verona, New Jersey, both of which appear unchanged since their TV debuts.
But not every Sopranos location has remained the same. The Bada Bing! club, featured throughout the show’s run, is still standing in Lodi, New Jersey, but it’s actually named Satin Dolls (and has been since the show shot). Satriale’s Meat Market, home to more than a few gruesome Sopranos murders, has unfortunately been torn down and replaced with a parking lot. At least Centanni’s Meat Market, which only appeared in the pilot episode, is still standing!
