Any significance to the fact they ordered onion rings in an ice cream parlor? Probably not, but here's a bit of info I found on onions:

The Romans felt the concentric circle configuration of the onion represented eternity.

Any significance? I dare you to discuss. :icon_wink:

No grand theories here, but a couple of observations:

- of course, rings are often symbolic of circularity, repetition, continuance, etc. so the onion rings would fit in with the "life goes on" ending that many people predicted for the finale

- the way they popped the small rings into their mouths was very communion wafer-esque

I forgot where I heard this, I think it was the hbo interview with david chase.. it may still be on demand. He said the show would come full circle.. and It did.

Why Holsten's in the first place? Tony and his nuclear family
usually dine at restaurants far more upscale than this local
dive in Bloomfield.
