In NYC (specifically Manhattan and Brooklyn) I’ve seen this exact setup before. A small pizzeria with a street entrance, as well as access from an adjoining club or bar, via a pickup window or even full-on walk in. There is 100% hundreds of actual eateries and even residential buildings with rooftop gardens, either strictly for gardening, or to source fresh ingredients as well. This entire new modular really screams NYC to me.
I think it is supposed to be representative of new york. The dress on the lady aligns with the fashions of the 1920s-1930s, and her afro in conjunction with the jazz theme of the building suggests the Harlem Renaissance of the same period. And pizza, well, that’s just classic New York!
I think the lack of seating area for the pizzaria is a cultural thing. Here in Denmark it would be the outlier rather than the norm to have seating instead of just take away. There might be a small counter with some barstools while you wait, but no more than that. I like the idea of the green house on top, makes it seem more high-end which could justify it being next to a jazz club.
Yeah, the pizzaria is actually pretty close to what you see in much of Europe and fresh ingredients is actually a thing in many Italian places we have visited!
There are many pizza places like that, yes. I just thought our opportunity for a modular pizza place would give us more, especially since there’s barely anything inside the pizza shop.
@@supremeleadergnkdroid3202 but this modular justifies all the nitpicking. At least that arch between the pizzeria and the club. Why not close that hole with a wall
There's a few pizzerias downtown that are just for ordering. They have dining tables outside but the space between the entrance and the desk before getting to the kitchen is not much. A bigger one would've been ideal but it's not inaccurate.
The pizza and jazz club connecting from the inside isn’t weird for me, because I went on a road trip once and the interior of a mini casino was attached to a gas station, a McDonald’s, and a Carl’s Jr.
@@macdaddy2344 Wow, where did that come from? Especially since just2good is always fair and constructive when he criticises something - should we be fanboys and applaud everything without having an own opinion?!?
The leaks really misled people into thinking the pizzeria was gonna be a bigger part of the set than it really was. The jazz club was always the main focus of the set and not every pizzeria had a big dining space. A lot of places mostly only offer takeout options.
@@just2good I believe I either went to Amore or Sacco's during my trip to NY. It's been a good couple of years. I highly recommend bringing GPS, you don't know how easy it is to get lost in NY. I also recommend checking out the Nintendo store while you're there, they should still have the Game Boy that survived a bunker bomb during the Gulf War on display.
@@carumsarene I suppose you could get lost below Houston, but all of Lower Manhattan is less than a square mile. Beyond that, THE STREETS ARE NUMBERED.
The thing about the tailor I guess it's the idea of some modulars, to fit plenty of scenarios that didn't managed to be on the spotlight of the set, like the Pizzeria or the toy shop, from an older modular if I remember. And that's ok, we get variety, I'm fine with that. But the smell of pizza on the jazz concert really got me thinking. Like, what was the trouble in adding two sliding doors, so people at the show could be served? Like, how kitchens are separated from the main area in restaurants! But in the end, it all looks so fitting and charming, matches pretty well with the modulars at the back. It gives a different feel from what other modulars were before, maybe something more...vintage-y? I dunno. I'd get if I had the money, and could wait for a discount. The Police station pricing is a good point.
I talk about that later in the video, not that it is part of the storytelling, but how I might be thinking to hard about it when I say it’s a strange inclusion, a pizza place with fresh greenhouse ingredients? Where on earth can I go there, I will book a flight!
I’m probably out of touch, because I only started going to shows in the last couple years of my life, so I’m wrong when I say this, my experience is the venues have drinks and food but never allow outside food or have a full entryway to another building right by the stage because that would cause noise and distraction? But then again, at the art house theater I go to, there’s a kitchen (not a seperate resturant), and sometimes the noise bleeds in so I can say one place I regular has something but a lot more isolated and contained than what’d going on here.
@@just2good no, I probably misunderstood what you meant….but still it’s a good looking set, though personally I’m not into Jazz and I already built a costume modular pizza place….thanks for the reply
The exterior is the what brings the set down for me. Just comparing it to recent modulars yeah, it's good but it doesn't blow me away or make me just wanna sit there and admire all the cool and unique ways they've used obscure pieces like the wolf head, feathers or bionical hands. All they've done is but two mudguard pieces for a car on the roof but it's not exactly a new thing. The interior is alright and the fact they managed to fit in a bathroom was amazing, just annoys me they managed to fit a toilet in here but couldn't put one on the townhouse or appartment from birch books
Wait for the GWP. That will help justify the price. I like the central stairway with access to both buildings. Much better than the fire-escape access of most other modulars. Also love the greenhouse. That's a great addition to an otherwise bland roof. The tailor has some nice little features. Especially the sewing machine. Also love the Jazz Club signage and the stage. The manager's office could've been presented in a clearer manner but it's fine. The toilet under the stairs is a great detail as well. It may not be one of the best modulars, but it's definitely not one of the worst either. I'd say above average.
Your opinion on this is just2TRASH. Musical buildings/culture is one Lego’s least explored tropes. The Downtown Diner had a recording studio booth, and I love that we now have an “in universe” LEGO music venue, especially for the modular line.
This video is ENTIRELY Justin acting smug and asking “have you ever seen [incredibly normal thing]?” Like… have you been to any city? This is a perfectly usual setup.
I have issues with modulars. First of all price, sevond of all, I wanna get in there with my hand, but the modular spaces are so small, you can barely get in there lol
I feel these hole in the wall venues with connecting food is accurate to the aesthetic, unique for Modulars and also fun? I dunno why people are so hung up on this being ‘too colourful’? It’s a jazz bar and pizzeria!! They are meant to be fun and appealing?
You were mistaken by the 'leaks'. This set clearly never had a major 'pizzeria' build. It was clearly a Jazz club with a small extra build of a pizzeria. Have you ever thought that all these businesses are tied together? IE the owner of the Jazz club also own the pizzeria. And that's the reason of the connection between them, ie its the kitchen for the Jazz Club? This would also explain why there is no inside seating in the pizzeria, because the inside seating is supposed to be the Jazz club. The pizzeria has another entrance so you can do like an 'online' order pickup that many restaurants have these days or delivery with the moped. You are absolutely being just2hard...
Look, will the smell of pizza and the sound of pizza bleed into the jazz performances? That’s what I complained about with the connection aspect, how it was strange logically and admitted I’m probably overthinking it.
@@just2good It's not like it's a Papa Johns. Pizza that is being freshly cooked from roof-grown ingredients is not gonna smell nearly as strong as fast-food chain pizza. And there's not much staff so it wouldn't be too noisy, you'd have people ordering and like 2 people quietly preparing the food. Wouldn't be much noisier than like, a bar.
I know its not a bathroom but there is a toilet room under the stairs of the Jazz Club. Edit: I wrote this comment before you noticed the bathroom. Glad your as enthusiatsic as I!
There is a purple sign out front advertising a tailor, with a separate entrance and staircase leading to the business. So not an apartment, not part of the jazz club. Separate business.
Yeah, I should’ve cut out the apartment line, it was from an early recording before I noticed the sign (I think I point out the sign later in the video).
So glad you caught the bathroom on the second pass, as I noticed it almost right away, and was thinking wait what? Mostly a Jazz club I guess, and lack of Pizzeria on the inside is kind of disappointing. Exterior though is what's mostly on display though, and overall looks pretty great. Favorite Pizza truck for me I think is the hilariously undersized truck that came in the TMNT Shellraiser set. A real fun departure from what most city food trucks look like.
The interior of the Jazz Club is smaller and more cramped than I'd like. I wanted the stage to be a bit larger rather than as a corner stage, mostly because I wanted to display larger bands (with up to six or seven band mates with their instruments) on said stage and the corner stage doesn't cut it. I don't mind the pizzeria being small since a lot of the good ones tend to be very small hole in the wall places. The exteriors look very nice.
Got this one day one, personally love it. I go to jazz clubs myself in Chicago and San Fran and it is totally normal to have a restaurant with no seating next door like that. Other patrons can walk out with a pizza, while people who pay for the show can get pizza. They nailed it imo, looks way better in person, as does most lego
I like it. I could care less about it not having seating in the pizza place. Many places just have pizza to go. We actually have clubs with restaurants attached to it where I live, its not uncommon. I like this much more then the motel. Will be purchasing!
The pizzeria in the town center set (60292) also has a garden on the roof. It's not a greenhouse, but close. So, I wasn't surprised they introduced this to a new set with more detailing. I'm also not a fan of the lack of detailing in the pizzeria. Give me an Italian flag....something. It's kind of bland. I do like the tailor shop, though. The more shops the better.
The entryway behind the two is bizarre. I think it's a step down from the Boutique Hotel, feeks like they've crammed too much into one modular, so you get a lot of businesses but none of them are done properly.
The pizzeria with the greenhouse on the roof reminds me of the Italian chef (whose name idk how to spell) from curious George, the yellow even reminds me of the man in the yellow hat
Trombone player here who loves jazz and also sews from time to time (and lover of pizza) i think this is a lovely set and the colors of the building is really nice but like you said 230 is a bit pricey but for me its worth it!!
The inside just feels so simple, like I made it. And I'm not that good. The jazz singer minifig is stunning and the diamond of this set. If I do get it, I'm going to move the entrance to the jazz club to the left side, give it a more speakeasy vibe. Move the show space to the second floor. Turn the tailor into an extended dance/show area for the jazz club (tailor woudn't be above a pizza place anyway because the smell would permeate all the fabric and anything you make would smell like a Papa Johns). Turn the first floor into a check in lobby for a cheap hotel that rents rooms above the jazz club floor like in a 40's crime noir movie. The greenhouse would be gone in favor of some outdoor patio space or something. I wish it was closer to 150 but understand lego is just more expensive nowadays.
The Pizzeria should have been the focus, maybe even getting it's own building. They are EVERYWHERE !!! And people can easily relate to them. I've never been to Jazz Club before so i'm not all that interested in having one in my city. Zero emotional attachment. Total missed opportunity here.
For me, this Jazz Club has the same problem as MANY Lego modulars: it’s TOO SMALL. “The Palace Cinema” only had SIX seats. “The Detective Office” had a pool hall with ONE pool table. “The Book Store” had a counter and ONE bookshelf, etcetera. Now we’ve got a “Jazz Club” that barely seats six. “sigh” I understand. Lego has a price-point. Though these mini-building attachments nibble away at the valuable space. Am I the only one who would have preferred a full-sized Jazz Club (taking up the entire building “footprint”)? And a separate set with a full-sized Pizzeria?
I like the rooftop greenhouse, I've got no problem with the lack of seating at the pizzeria. About the only thing I wish they'd done is make it so this was a split set, but it still looks great to me.
The interiors on this set are not that bad, in my personal opinion. What I don't like is the fact that the details outside look somewhat unbalanced to me. Some things are lacking details while others are over-detailed. I think they should have created a Jazz sign made of bricks instead of prints, just like the pool at Detective's Office. Meanwhile, the windows feel too much detailed and also they don't match the color scheme of the red bricks very well. They also could have been more generous with the pizzaria in terms of size also. It really feels too tiny and lessening the budget. In the Police Office it was ok the side building, but this one in particular not so much.
If there's one thing that's really put me off modulars in recent years it's how they abandoned the classic :) facees. Now they feel more "generic modern lego" than "modern classic".
I think it's a pretty good modular overall. But there doesn't seem to be much of a variety of toppings for the pizzas, I wish there were more pizza slices. And I just realized that it's a little weird that there's nothing separating the pizzeria from the show, a couple of doors would have been a solution. But what I actually find really annoying is that it is a freaking jazz club but there's not a single black guy playing jazz, WHY? And where's the guy who plays that saxophone? And why is there no clarinet in the set?
According to the usainflationcalculator website, $200 in 2020 is $230 in 2022 so the Police Station argument doesn't hold water to me. That being said, the tailor shop above the pizzeria is an odd choice and while the join between it and the jazz club is a terrific idea I'm not sure that pizzeria/jazz club was the best pick to join together in that manner. Also, am I blind or is there no saxophone included in this set?
Agreed there are lots of flaws; first floor should be a full pizzeria, second floor a jazz club and third floor apartments with a roof garden. Really don't like these small side buildings in that they can only have half-finished ideas with cramped spaces. You really need full floors to give lots of space to develop each theme. But yeah, I'll still probably buy it.
Dude the negativity from this channel is getting out of hand. I get not liking a set, including this one, even if our opinions are different, but these are the most nitpicky reasons I've ever seen/heard. Idk if you're doing it to get more views or something but please stop. I didn't sub to this channel for this kind of negativity. Respectfully, as a fan and as a huge fan of LEGO in general, all I'm asking is to steer your content away from all this nitpicking, cause all it really seems like is that you're dissing sets just to diss them (even if that's not your intentions, I'm just saying it comes across that way).
I still need to understand these building that are actually one but look like multiple by its façade, like the Detective's Office which was the first. Ok it could be the lack of space that time, but this new Jazz Club (and Pizzeria) could be 2 separate buildings easily. The good side of it: its size is perfect to fit the gap left by the Assembly Square. 😉
The smell of the pizza is going to take away from the music? Combining the smell of pizza with the sound of jazz sounds like heaven to me. I bought this set Day One or shortly thereafter and I love it. I totally agree with you on the scooter, as I love that piece and wasn't aware that it was a new color.
I would have preferred if the entrance to the pizzeria was behind a bar with a door, so the staff can get food for customers from the place next door, but it's fine. Overall it seems a bit lacking.. no action features, less greebling than I would have liked, and poor use of interior space. It look good though.
In what universe are there carrots in a pizza!?! Why not have some of those three-leaf pieces in the greenhouse? … and possibly 1x1 round studs for onions!?!
They should have just gone with the Jazz Club and left off the pizza place. I would rather see one business done well instead of trying to do a ton of different crappy businesses. They could do a second floor balcony seating, and have the area to the side be a dressing room. They could do a pizza place with an arcade as a separate build.

Agreed, especially with the red brick building for the jazz club ,reminds me of when I visited New York, the set is incredibly good in my opinion!!!
I think it is supposed to be representative of new york. The dress on the lady aligns with the fashions of the 1920s-1930s, and her afro in conjunction with the jazz theme of the building suggests the Harlem Renaissance of the same period. And pizza, well, that’s just classic New York!

This is pretty accurate to pizzerias that I've seen in larger cities. It's more of a takeaway spot than a sit-down dining area.

Why will the pizza pay extra rental?

It’s a Jazz Club not a pizzeria man. Disagree with your points but each to their own.
Lego NEEDS to stop using stickers since they overprice their sets now. Prints should be the only ones
The whole thing just feels very plain and seems like a lego ideas set rather than a official modular.
As someone who doesn't collect any of the other modulars, this one I feel compelled to get, problems aside.
It doesn't have problems, you just didn't like it.
There is supposedly a pizza van GWP similar to the taxi from this year, shame its limited but should go nicely alongside this set.

Plz review the lego 2006 krusty krab!
I have a theater near my house that leads into a pizza place
which heathen has carrot on pizza, that's what I want know.
Top floor isnt an apartment. So dont know why there would be a bed. The green house is for fresh ingredients for the pizzas, pretty cool imo
i like it, i just wish they chose a different color, other than dark red. we've had 4, maybe 4.5 modular buildings in dark red.
The interior of the Jazz Club is smaller and more cramped than I'd like. I wanted the stage to be a bit larger rather than as a corner stage, mostly because I wanted to display larger bands (with up to six or seven band mates with their instruments) on said stage and the corner stage doesn't cut it.

Trombone player here who loves jazz and also sews from time to time (and lover of pizza) i think this is a lovely set and the colors of the building is really nice but like you said 230 is a bit pricey but for me its worth it!!
Give us your Harry Potter sets reaction already, you coward!
LOL, me and harry potter a REALLY not on good terms now. I’ll have to put my feelings aside for a video on… my feelings 😭
Hey, off topic but did you see that they're changing the minifigure series price or is that just in Canada.
The inside just feels so simple, like I made it. And I'm not that good. The jazz singer minifig is stunning and the diamond of this set.
If I do get it, I'm going to move the entrance to the jazz club to the left side, give it a more speakeasy vibe. Move the show space to the second floor. Turn the tailor into an extended dance/show area for the jazz club (tailor woudn't be above a pizza place anyway because the smell would permeate all the fabric and anything you make would smell like a Papa Johns). Turn the first floor into a check in lobby for a cheap hotel that rents rooms above the jazz club floor like in a 40's crime noir movie. The greenhouse would be gone in favor of some outdoor patio space or something.
I wish it was closer to 150 but understand lego is just more expensive nowadays.
I disagree.
Damn, remember parisian Restaurant?
Love that😭😭
The Pizzeria should have been the focus, maybe even getting it's own building. They are EVERYWHERE !!! And people can easily relate to them. I've never been to Jazz Club before so i'm not all that interested in having one in my city. Zero emotional attachment. Total missed opportunity here.
For me, this Jazz Club has the same problem as MANY Lego modulars: it’s TOO SMALL.
“The Palace Cinema” only had SIX seats. “The Detective Office” had a pool hall with ONE pool table. “The Book Store” had a counter and ONE bookshelf, etcetera. Now we’ve got a “Jazz Club” that barely seats six. “sigh”
I understand. Lego has a price-point. Though these mini-building attachments nibble away at the valuable space. Am I the only one who would have preferred a full-sized Jazz Club (taking up the entire building “footprint”)? And a separate set with a full-sized Pizzeria?
There is a bathroom on main floor
Under the stairs
Did you watch the whole video? About 5 minutes into the video he finds the bathroom and freaks out in excitement
I like this set. I'll probably use it as a front for a mob boss
Just get the Lao Che figure and his goon from the old Indiana Jones set and you’re good to go!
I like the rooftop greenhouse, I've got no problem with the lack of seating at the pizzeria. About the only thing I wish they'd done is make it so this was a split set, but it still looks great to me.
It looks like Friends set plus modulars were 160€ at the beginning of this year and now jump to 230€ 😱 it lacks details imo, pass....
Still no plain cheese LEGO pizza? Easy pass.
LMAOOO i forgotttt
The interiors on this set are not that bad, in my personal opinion. What I don't like is the fact that the details outside look somewhat unbalanced to me. Some things are lacking details while others are over-detailed. I think they should have created a Jazz sign made of bricks instead of prints, just like the pool at Detective's Office. Meanwhile, the windows feel too much detailed and also they don't match the color scheme of the red bricks very well. They also could have been more generous with the pizzaria in terms of size also. It really feels too tiny and lessening the budget. In the Police Office it was ok the side building, but this one in particular not so much.
If there's one thing that's really put me off modulars in recent years it's how they abandoned the classic :) facees. Now they feel more "generic modern lego" than "modern classic".
I'm also going to give it a 0/1000. I think the Pizzeria should have been shaped like a giant pizza, like the Smiling Friends building
I think it's a pretty good modular overall.
But there doesn't seem to be much of a variety of toppings for the pizzas, I wish there were more pizza slices. And I just realized that it's a little weird that there's nothing separating the pizzeria from the show, a couple of doors would have been a solution.
But what I actually find really annoying is that it is a freaking jazz club but there's not a single black guy playing jazz, WHY? And where's the guy who plays that saxophone? And why is there no clarinet in the set?
According to the usainflationcalculator website, $200 in 2020 is $230 in 2022 so the Police Station argument doesn't hold water to me.
That being said, the tailor shop above the pizzeria is an odd choice and while the join between it and the jazz club is a terrific idea I'm not sure that pizzeria/jazz club was the best pick to join together in that manner.
Also, am I blind or is there no saxophone included in this set?
3:48 i think its Basil XD
I’m stupid af
Agreed there are lots of flaws; first floor should be a full pizzeria, second floor a jazz club and third floor apartments with a roof garden.
Really don't like these small side buildings in that they can only have half-finished ideas with cramped spaces. You really need full floors to give lots of space to develop each theme.
But yeah, I'll still probably buy it.
Dude the negativity from this channel is getting out of hand. I get not liking a set, including this one, even if our opinions are different, but these are the most nitpicky reasons I've ever seen/heard.
Idk if you're doing it to get more views or something but please stop. I didn't sub to this channel for this kind of negativity.
Respectfully, as a fan and as a huge fan of LEGO in general, all I'm asking is to steer your content away from all this nitpicking, cause all it really seems like is that you're dissing sets just to diss them (even if that's not your intentions, I'm just saying it comes across that way).
I still need to understand these building that are actually one but look like multiple by its façade, like the Detective's Office which was the first. Ok it could be the lack of space that time, but this new Jazz Club (and Pizzeria) could be 2 separate buildings easily.
The good side of it: its size is perfect to fit the gap left by the Assembly Square. 😉
There is a bathroom under the stairs

LEGO modular blockbuster maybe, another store no, ARCADE WHERE THE HELL IS IT. No hack/scam prize
The smell of the pizza is going to take away from the music? Combining the smell of pizza with the sound of jazz sounds like heaven to me. I bought this set Day One or shortly thereafter and I love it. I totally agree with you on the scooter, as I love that piece and wasn't aware that it was a new color.
I would have preferred if the entrance to the pizzeria was behind a bar with a door, so the staff can get food for customers from the place next door, but it's fine. Overall it seems a bit lacking.. no action features, less greebling than I would have liked, and poor use of interior space. It look good though.
I'm buying this set, not because it's a nice build (which it really is) but because it has a toilet.
TAKE MY MONEY LEGO!
It's for sure one of the best modulars that have been released. Idk what you are on about.
The prices are just....idk..crazy. I buy my kid lego friends and even those prices are through the roof
In what universe are there carrots in a pizza!?! Why not have some of those three-leaf pieces in the greenhouse? … and possibly 1x1 round studs for onions!?!
They should have just gone with the Jazz Club and left off the pizza place. I would rather see one business done well instead of trying to do a ton of different crappy businesses. They could do a second floor balcony seating, and have the area to the side be a dressing room. They could do a pizza place with an arcade as a separate build.
The exterior looks like it would pair well with the detective office… maybe?
They should have made a arcade in that pizza joint… kinda bummed
I feel like they were trying to pack too much into one build. Sometimes it’s better to take a simple idea and run with that. Less is more
There is a bathroom under the stairs, There is a bathroom under the stairs, There is a bathroom under the stairs.......
Brick up and divide the entryway and place some brick built fridges and perhaps a bigger counter top?
A pizza truck is expected to be a gift with purchase sometime in March.
Apparently the double bass piece was originally intended for Vidiyo so it shoukdnt have added much to the cost
4:23 ow this haunting music... What a neat reference to The Mist... It made this batheroom matter really horrible to me
I really only see your videos because youre the first to public them normally but I hate that youre constantly criticising lego. Could you stop a bit?
Very similar to a shop at a theme park I go to the pizzeria is in the building but the only seating is infront of the stage to watch the magic show.
