There was a time when Sundays had a rhythm to them. You grabbed the paper, flipped through the sections, worked on the crossword and took your time doing absolutely nothing important. Sunday Club NYC is tapping into that feeling, and doing it in a way that actually feels cool instead of overly nostalgic.
The Black-owned, New York City-based brand makes beautifully designed print issues packed with crosswords, Sudoku, word searches, mazes, comics and original games. The idea is simple: give people something worth putting their phone down for.
Sunday Club NYC Makes Print Feel Cool Again
There was a time when Sundays had a rhythm to them. You grabbed the paper, flipped through the sections, worked on the crossword and took your time doing absolutely nothing important. Sunday Club NYC is tapping into that feeling, and doing it in a way that actually feels cool instead of overly nostalgic.
The Black-owned, New York City-based brand was founded by Ira Blossom II, who built Sunday Club around a simple idea: give people a reason to disconnect from their screens and enjoy something tangible again. That perspective matters because the brand is not just selling puzzles. It is creating a modern version of a ritual many of us grew up with.

The issues are packed with crosswords, Sudoku, word searches, mazes, comics and original games, but the design is just as important as the content. Each edition looks stylish enough to leave on your coffee table, and some issues feel more like collectible print art than a traditional newspaper.
A new issue drops every month, giving readers something fresh to work through. The brand has also expanded into apparel and collaborations, including two cobranded issues with Windstar Cruises, The Maritime & Marine Issue and The Wellness at Sea Issue.
For anyone who remembers when getting the Sunday paper was part of the weekend, Sunday Club hits a familiar nerve. For younger readers who never really had that experience, it offers something different: a reason to sit down, slow down and do something that does not involve scrolling.
There is also something worth celebrating about Ira Blossom II building a Black-owned NYC brand around an old-school idea and making it feel fresh again.
You can order Sunday Club issues directly at SundayClub.com, where you can also shop subscriptions, individual editions and the brand’s apparel collection. New issues are released monthly.
Sometimes you do not need another app. You just need a pencil and something worth opening.
