Ah, New York City, the concrete jungle that never sleeps. And what better way to capture the essence of the Big Apple than with a jigsaw puzzle? The October 3, 2011 New Yorker cover captures the true divide between locals and tourists: the sidewalk split in half with a bold red line. On the left, the red letters read "NO TOURIST." You can practically hear the locals cheering. But on the right, the tourists are taking over, snapping pictures on their phones and marveling at the towering skyscrapers and flashing billboards in the background. It's a scene straight out of a movie, with as many different characters as the city itself. All in all, this puzzle is a true reflection of the energy that makes New York City so special.

Crafted in our Vermont workshop, each wooden jigsaw puzzle is meticulously hand-cut by a highly skilled Stave artisan to be a luxury, heirloom-quality puzzle. No computers or lasers. They are often crafted with an irregular edge that will vary depending on the puzzle's size.

You can personalize your puzzle by requesting names, initials, and dates crafted into it and we can fill the puzzle with charming, clever, and elegant whimsy-shaped pieces. Silhouette shapes can include logos, people in action, a specific car model, or animal breed. If you prefer, you can leave it to the artisan to choose the shapes and surprise you! You'll also discover special cutting features within the puzzle designed to surprise, confound, and delight you!
