WHERE WAS I? It's paradise for puzzle fans this week...and, perhaps, sheer hell for everyone else! You see, identifying the location should be even easier than it was last week, but figuring out the puzzle will be harder. Go to it...and leave your guesses in the comments section.

Hmm. Doesn't seem to want to load on my computer, which leads me to believe that this is a million little pieces. It's all yours Dolph!
If you're having trouble getting the pieces to show up, make sure you run your cursor over the puzzle.
And remember: You can always guess without seeing the puzzle!
The National Jewelry Exchange at 8 West 47th Street.
Wow. So that wasn't very hard after all! Congrats to David for nailing the location. (The number address may or not be slightly off--the building has more than one, I think--but he's got it.) Perhaps he'd like to share the secret of his brilliant success with the rest of us!
The location is indeed the National Jewelry Exchange. Those of you who work on the puzzle can see that the neon sign for the Exchange was defective so that it appears to spell something different (and, I think, amusing).
Located in midtown's famous Diamond District, the National Jewelry Exchange is home to a number of vendors who buy, sell, and trade in jewelry. Upstairs is another kind of jewel: the Diamond Dairy Restaurant, known for its unusual and delicious blintzes as well as its thick, crispy latkes. Downstairs is the lair of the well-regarded jewelry maker and repairer Joseph Rissin.
My secret is my sheer intellect and frustration over the large number of pieces. Thus I was forced to assemble only the most distinct of the puzzle's features: the neon sign. Once assembled, I knew it was in the diamond district, but I used Google to confirm the location, just in case some judge wanted specifics. And yes, there are several street addresses assocated with this place, and they do have yummy blinzes in the building.
Intellect and frustration...but of course!
