About
An independent eye on New York.
Karen Kooper is being reimagined as a selective guide to places with character, starting with New York's flower shops and expanding carefully into other city categories.
Editorial principles
Recommendations should answer a practical question: why is this place worth knowing, and who is it best for? We distinguish editorial selections from advertising, date our guides, and preserve earlier editions in the archive.
The site's earlier fashion and luxury history is part of Karen Kooper's web legacy. Existing historical material should be preserved or redirected thoughtfully during the migration rather than deleted indiscriminately.
