Hi there, I’m so glad you dropped by. Karen’s Quirky New York is a monthly column featuring quirky people, places, and style, primarily (but not always) focused on Manhattan.
Please note that the opinions on this website are my own.
This photo is from a column I wrote commemorating the iconic Limelight nightclub, where all the club kids went back in the day. It personifies what Karen’s Quirky New York is about—discovering history and today’s fun happenings in Greenwich Village and beyond.
My column is syndicated and published in four local Manhattan papers. This site is a compendium of my columns, with extra features like my Shoe Closet and Model Tales.
My column is also available on Substack. Paid subscribers receive an extra “inside look” at Greenwhich Village each month. Subscribe today!
If you have an idea for a location or outfit for my column, or you’re looking for a Manhattan model with quirky style, reach me at:
