The Skyway Diner in Kearny, New Jersey, is now permanently closed. Located at 200 Central Avenue, the building is vacant, though it remains a local landmark known for its appearance in the HBO series The Sopranos.
Key details about the former diner:
- Pop culture fame: In the 2000 Sopranos episode “Full Leather Jacket,” the diner is where character Christopher Moltisanti is shot.
- Under the Pulaski Skyway: The diner’s name is a literal description of its location, situated under the massive Pulaski Skyway.
- GTA connection: The diner was the inspiration for a location in the video game Grand Theft Auto, with a similar diner under a skyway in the fictional city of Alderney.
- Local landmark: Despite its closing around 2012, the diner is a fond memory for many North Jersey residents who ate there over the years
