It's all included: martinis, steaks, poker and a bus tour to New Jersey to visit the hallowed stamping grounds of Tony and Carmella.

And the price begins at $190 a night.

So goes the big "Sopranos-themed Bada Bing Weekend," soon to be offered at the Muse, a tony hotel in New York's Manhattan theater district that is brazenly offering the theme packages despite the litigious atmosphere that surrounds HBO's gangster TV series.

"The Sopranos" is either suing or being sued for one reason or another.

But Muse manager Mark Briskin doesn't mind.

"When we offered our big 'Sex and the City' weekend for women last year, HBO didn't say, 'Boo,'" Mr. Briskin said.

Indeed, the hotel's "Pajama Party Package," based on HBO's other popular series chronicling the romantic angst of four urban women, included pink-frosted chocolate cupcakes, shoe shopping and breakfast in bed.

The latest tour group, which will gather up hotel guests and motor them across the Goethals Bridge to New Jersey's seedy "Sopranos" side, is also at ease.
