1. Flordel · ⭐ 9.7
(1795 reviews)
+2 photos
78 Clinton St, New York, NY 10002, United States
A Lower East Side storefront built around the most common New York problem with flowers: it is already late in the day and something has to arrive before the evening is over. Flordel keeps finished hand-tied bouquets on the counter for whoever has ten minutes, and takes same-day orders long after most Manhattan shops have closed their books for the day.
2. Scotts Flowers NYC · ⭐ 9.9
(1338 reviews)
+2 photos
15 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018, United States
A Midtown florist that has been in business since 1947 and has spent the last four decades in one family's hands. Scott's sits in the middle of the office district, which shapes what it does: corporate lobbies and reception desks on a weekly cycle, gift deliveries that have to land before the recipient goes home, and event centerpieces built to a brief. For a walk-in it is a pr…
3. Mahir Floral & Event Designs · ⭐ 9.9
(1074 reviews)
+2 photos
156 W 28th St, New York, NY 10001, United States
A shop that sits inside the Flower District itself — the wholesale block where most of the city's florists do their buying — and works both ends of the trade at once: an event-design house for hotels, galas and weddings, and a retail store you can walk into and leave with a single bouquet. There is no minimum on the everyday side, which is not true of every event florist with a…
4. Julia Testa · ⭐ 9.7
(792 reviews)
+2 photos
111 Thompson St, New York, NY 10012, United States
A SoHo storefront and a Brooklyn production studio under one name, and it matters which one you go to: the SoHo shop takes walk-ins and sells flowers to carry out, while the Bed-Stuy studio builds installations and does not do in-store shopping. Julia Testa is a full event-design company that kept a real retail door open — so the same team that dresses a gala will also hand you…
5. Starbright Floral Design · ⭐ 9.7
(397 reviews)
+2 photos
140 W 26th St, New York, NY 10001, United States
A Chelsea florist that spent its first two decades invisible to ordinary New Yorkers: it was built in the early 1990s to serve corporate lobbies, hotels and institutions, not walk-ins. Then in 2015 it came down to street level in the Flower District and opened a retail door, which on that block was close to unheard of. What you get now is a shop with an industrial engine behind…
6. Flower You · ⭐ 9.3
(270 reviews)
+2 photos
122 E 25th St, New York, NY 10010, United States
This shop answers two very different phone calls: the person who needs a bouquet within the hour, and the office or hotel manager whose lobby has to look alive again by Monday. Flower You does both from one counter on the Kips Bay side of Manhattan, and walking in off the sidewalk is treated here as the normal way to buy flowers rather than an inconvenience.
7. Chelsea Florist, Inc · ⭐ 9.3
(259 reviews)
+2 photos
237 8th Ave, New York, NY 10011, United States
A neighborhood florist that has stood in Chelsea since 1977 and is still run by the same family — in a part of Manhattan where the galleries, the restaurants and half the storefronts have turned over several times since. This is the address for an order you want handled by people who know the buildings they deliver to.
«I love Chelsea Florist! I have ordered from them before for my son and his fiancé and th…»
8. Matles Florist · ⭐ 9.5
(199 reviews)
+2 photos
329 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019, United States
An independent Midtown West florist trading under this name since 1962, in a stretch of the city built out of concert halls, hotels and tall residential towers. The shop's own line is that it is a real local florist rather than an online reseller — and in New York, where a large share of "florists" are order desks routing your money elsewhere, that is the reason to walk through…
9. Columbia Midtown Florist · ⭐ 9.1
(180 reviews)
+2 photos
3 W 51st St, New York, NY 10019, United States
A small Midtown shop a few steps from Rockefeller Center, which explains most of what it does: this is the florist for the office order, the hotel room and the visitor who needs flowers in the middle of a working day in the busiest square mile in America. It is a genuine retail florist with its own space, registered as one since 2012, and not one of the order-taking websites th…
10. Flowers by Blooming Affairs Florist of Manhattan NYC · ⭐ 9.9
(171 reviews)
+2 photos
925 Broadway, New York, NY 10010, United States
A Flatiron flower shop that has held the same corner of the neighborhood since 2002, now run by an owner who is also its head designer and who starts her day at six in the morning buying the flowers she will use that day. Two things make it worth knowing in a city full of florists: the same-day deadline runs remarkably late into the evening, and the design work is done by the p…
