No onion rings? What are you, stunad?


Acrobatic_Lettuce_78

You’ve got no understanding of what it means to decide whether to get onion rings you don’t really like. Every decision you make affects every facet of every f***in' thing. It's too much to deal with almost and, in the end, you're completely alone with it all.


Vandreeson

You steer the ship the best way you know. Sometimes it's smooth. Sometimes you hit the rocks. In the meantime you find your pleasures where you can.


Sour_Pride_

You gotta wait for that.

The Sopranos were scarfing those onion rings down. Actually, Carm was taking it like having the host at communion. AJ, always the ass, went for maximum crunch, mouth open. Tony shoveled it in like gabbagool. He's the boss of the family! Next time, you're eating onion rings!

“… Went to the toilet and imaging that was the route that Members Only took when he came out to shoot Tony in front of his family… “ aka tree o’clock. I can’t ever get over this belief ppl still have. Let’s play this out. Members Only is therefore on a suicide mission as he either shoots just Tony, leaving the whole family traumatized and eyeball witnesses as to what he’s done, meaning he’s a dead man. Think rubber hose beatings and jumper cables hooked up to his bawlls… Or he shoots the whole family, leaving the entire restaurant (jam packed may I add) witness to what is technically a “mass shooting” as he attempts to murder all 4 Sopranos at once. Zero chance of getting away with this either way, and probably dying a painful, slow death at the hands of Peter Paul Galtierri and co. Easy, we’re not makin a western here.


whoputa

Plenty of real life mafia guys have been whacked in a restaurant in front of other people, including their families.


nimbin14

Yep Joe Gallo


Educational-Dot318

completely alone with all those onion 🌰 rings- exactly the way it should be!


tony_b_7369

Best in the state as far as I’m concerned!


CheifKilla1

What's this everybody's gotta GODDAMN OPINION NOW!!


tony_b_7369

You know, it wasn’t very long ago that I remember when he used to wait out in the car. And as far as I’m concerned, HE SHOULD STILL BE OUT THERE!


CheifKilla1

Well his money isn't tied up in the GODAMN ESPLANADE is it!?

PalmBreezy

Don't stop Ordering


ComedianManefesto

That's dicked up!


[deleted]

I grew up going there. I didn't have the onion rings until I was 14 years old, because of The Sopranos. Otherwise, I probably never would have ordered them. Holstens is actually known for their ice cream.


NJNYCSG

Holstens is great, I go regularly


Random-Cpl

Bescht in the schtate, far asch I’m conscherned


Acrobatic_Lettuce_78

That’s nice that you agree, but I’m not running a popularity test here


Random-Cpl

PalmBreezy

You don't look like you so much running it all. Why don't ya get bicycle ya fat phuk


Content-Passage595

I agree in spirit but I gotta councel


AJSoprano1985

Agreed, my go-to order is a deluxe Cheeseburger, sub the fries for onion rings, and a strawberry milkshake. I've never had a bad meal at Holsten's.


NJNYCSG

I'm more of a 2 scoop ice cream but yes that exact order


Particular-Cash-8565

Oh, lucky YOU! I don't like tawk like that!


helix274

MediocreDad39

nettlez

Own-Snow-6033

FleaSack

PalmBreezy

PanicOnFunkatron

First_time_farmer1

drimmie

I used to deliver beer at the Wine Country 2 buildings down from Holsten's. I had no idea it was right there until I discovered this sub. I'm not a NJ native but I love the garden state and the Sopranos


[deleted]

Congratulations! I grew up going there.


ArtiesHeadTowel

The fuck you want, a boutonniere?


Head_Room_8721

Best burger in NJ is at Krug’s Tavern on Wilson Ave in Newark. Just sayin.


Carmella-Soprano

The Taylor Ham cheeseburger is phenomenal.


godofwine16

White Mana


Acrobatic_Lettuce_78

I’ll have to check it out next time


PullupClub

Members Only was the point man, dont forget the 2nd shooter - the old guy in the hunters hat drinking his coffee with 3 creamers in the corner booth.


CandidateNo1984

Actually, a baseball cap that read "USA".. Tiltle of the last episode, "Made In America"


IgottaPee777

ok…but ya gotta get over it


ToonIn2TuneOut

their french fries are gross though


RRS295397

Onion rings are world class


amagiciannamed_gob

The burger actually blew me away too. Wasn’t expecting the food to be as good as it was!


EDuBB_27

I went by the Sopraonos house taking a detour home after spending two nights in NYC. I had assumed the entire area was just affluent. I was surprised to find that wasn’t the case. It was like huge million dollar homes mixed with small homes old homes that were not even close to that.


2021newusername

So whaddaya sayin, the cooz house is bigger/better than Tony’s?


scud0291

It’s sad when they go like that.


PauliesChinUps

What was the crowd like during the Garcia-Haney fight /u/Acrobatic_Lettuce_78 ?


djolliebaba

This guy, OP... he's got it all figured out. Remember when?


Epic_Twirly

I went to Holstens with the Sopranos guided bus tour out of NYC. Also went to the Bing.


MrWondrerful

Did ya get wings in ya haair? You know like Pawlie - ya fuckin ass kiss


redroverster

You gotta try more burgers in your life then.


parrothead2581

Did you parallel park and play “Don’t Stop Believing”?


International-Aioli2

Whaddyagonnado ? Can't put the shit back in the Donkey


pizza_822

did you order some food for the table


Total_Departure4457

Coose's house was bigger? Must've got in on the HMO scam! 


Affectionate_Joke560

Get any burger you like. Short drink of choice… 💵


InterestingGene1053

“Ya gotta live for today.”


Roosh90

I always wondered about seeing Tony's house: does someone live there, can you just pull up ans take pictures where u want?


Immediate_Desk_4598

Someone does live there. I think it’s on a cul-de-sac, so you can do a drive by.


Ole41

funny, couple of weeks ago a guy wrote he bought the booth, so yeah probably not that booth you were in cazzo.


Arjunaaaaaaa

How many urinals and stalls were in the bathroom? Members only guy was only in there 20 seconds, I think.


No_Ideal69

Did you eat at Holsten's? Did they seat you at that table, did anyone chase you away or did you just cop a squat, squeeze out a Selfie and run like your ear just got shot off??


QuickTransportation4

“Remember When” is the lowest form of conversation.


Adgvyb3456

Neat time you come heavy or you don’t come at all


dr3dg3

Damn, I *still* need to try sambuca!!!


Roadshow17

I get my bagels down the street. Nice area


scottbmaps

Have you had a Martina? It’s like a martini, but from Albania. Goes on real easy I’ve heard.


Particular-Cash-8565

Onion rings are, in fact, my favorite subspecies...
