New York Puzzle CompanyNew Yorker Main Street - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

A great addition to a puzzle lover's collection - this is my third New York Puzzle puzzle. Fun to build or a thoughtful gift, this puzzle offers hours of entertainment and a beautiful finished product worthy of framing. I highly recommend this puzzle and look forward to trying more puzzles from the New York Puzzle Company!

I do a lot of New Yorker Magazine puzzle. The pieces and amount of puzzle dust vary. But this one had super sturdy pieces and no dust. And it was a lot of fun.Highly recommend.

Friends loved it for its quality.

A turn-of-the-century, working class, immigrant neighborhood is the theme of this New Yorker cover by Beatrice Tobias from November 18, 1939 – one of two she did for the iconic magazine. It’s an excellent subject for a puzzle with its play off the word “build” as in communities, a life, a milieu - or a puzzle.It's a historically vibrant and beautifully painted picture of street life in post-Depression but pre-WWII America. My teen daughter and I worked this puzzle over a holiday weekend. Our building time turned into bonding time as we talked about our family’s immigrant history, and living in big cities with street vendors, pushcarts and store fronts still part the local NYC economy.The picture in this puzzle told a story of a time, a place, and a people. The best story, though, was the one we shared while puzzling together. A great puzzle to build as a family project. Just set it up on a 32" folding card table in a common space, and see what happens.

This is my third New York Puzzle Company puzzle, two of which have had 1-2 missing pieces. However, I like them so much I can get past that. The shapes of the pieces are really funky and keep it interesting. Will continue to buy, but if missing pieces reallly bother you, maybe pass.

Great puzzle - the pieces are not all shaped like typical puzzle pieces, there are some pretty unorthodox shapes and it adds an extra level of challenge. The pointilism in the painting also makes this one particularly difficult. Great fun, it took a group of four adults 5 days at the beach to finish it. My only complaint is that the black square on the box obscures a significant portion of the guide image. Not the end of the world, but a little annoying. I recently got another puzzle that had a stand built into the box. This one doesn't have that. A guaranteed hit for New Yorker fans and fans of New York and Central Park.

The New Yorker cover puzzles are always wonderful. It's a delight to see the picture come together, and the colors are vivid. The puzzle is well-made. However, the pieces are very small (not Ravensberger size), so this increases the challenge---especially the section of the puzzle that contains the magazine name! I'm not doing these puzzles; my 89 year old mother is, and this is her first 1000 piece! She has been working on this one since Thanksgiving, putting in several hours a day. Because there is so much detail in the picture, each tiny piece holds a useful clue, but there are hundreds of pieces to sort through: very engrossing, very mind-engaging.
