New Yorker was a good early tomato. Pretty firm and prolific and taste was good. I used to grow it until Harris stopped offering it sometime in the late 70s (if I remember right). It's main virtue was earliness. Almost the same as Fireball, which I think it replaced, at least in the nursery sales.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think the introduction of Jet Star may have led to it's demise, although New Yorker was a few days earlier.
