The train catches the last of the golden light as it curves toward the coast, its windows glowing amber against a sky that shifts from deep blue overhead to brilliant orange at the horizon. In the distance, the silhouette of Coney Island comes into view: the Wonder Wheel, the roller coaster, the whole dreamlike machinery of a summer afternoon winding down. It is the kind of view that makes the city feel endless and achingly beautiful.

Eric Drooker created this cover for The New Yorker's September 5, 2011 issue. Published the same week Hurricane Irene struck New York City, with the subway system shut down and Coney Island under evacuation orders, the cover took on an uncanny resonance. It became an accidental tribute to the city's spirit: a celebration of the line coming back to life just days later.

A perfect gift for New Yorkers, transit enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever watched the city pass by from an elevated platform and felt lucky to be there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in a puzzle advent calendar?

Each calendar holds 24 mini jigsaw puzzles, one for every day from December 1 to December 24. Every puzzle has 100 pieces and comes in its own numbered box, all tucked inside a decorative 13" × 13.75" outer box.

How big is each finished puzzle?

Each mini is 100 pieces and small enough to solve on a coffee table or tray. Finished sizes by calendar:

Janet Hill Advent Calendar: 7" × 9"
Loré Pemberton Advent Calendar: 7" × 9" and 8" × 8"
Harry Potter Advent Calendar: 9" × 7" and 7" × 9"
New Yorker Advent Calendar 2nd Edition: 7" × 9"

How long does each puzzle take?

Each 100-piece mini takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your skill level. Just right for a daily puzzle break.

Will the pieces from different days get mixed up?

No. Each puzzle comes in its own small box, so the pieces stay separate until you open that day.

Do I have to open the puzzles in order?

The boxes are numbered 1 to 24, but there are no rules. Open one a day, catch up on a few at once, or save the whole set for a long winter weekend.

Is it too late to start after December 1?

Not at all. Start whenever it arrives and catch up on the days you missed, or treat it as 24 small puzzles to enjoy all winter.

What can I do with the puzzles after Christmas?

Keep them. Each mini goes back in its box, so you can puzzle them again next year, frame a favorite, or tuck a few into stockings and gift bags.

Some customers save their calendar and complete it any time of year. It's a perfect way to focus, challenge yourself and unplug, whatever the season.

Is a puzzle advent calendar a good gift?

Yes. It lasts all December, gives a calm few minutes every day, and leaves the recipient with 24 puzzles to keep, unlike chocolate or beauty samples that are gone in a moment.

Because the puzzles can be done again and again, the gift lasts for years and can become a holiday tradition of its own.
