Watch: Inside Tony Soprano's Office: Where the Real Business Happened

Tony Soprano's real office was never a boardroom. It was the back room of the Bada Bing and a booth at Satriale's, and every major decision of the series passed through them. Watch the video above, then read what those rooms meant.

The back rooms are where the show does its real work: tribute counted, sit-downs held, deaths quietly approved over espresso. Chase shoots them like confessionals, low light, no music, men speaking in the half-sentences of people who assume the room might be wired, which, as the series keeps reminding us through Agent Harris and the FBI's bugs, it sometimes was. The contrast is the point of the series: millions moving through rooms that smell of pork fat and strip-club cleaner, run by men who insist they are in the waste management business.

Quick answer: Tony's "office" was the Bada Bing's back room and the table at Satriale's Pork Store, where the family's money, orders and secrets were handled.
