Hear from Our Customers
Here’s what matters when you’re ordering birthday flowers: they show up on time, they look fresh when they arrive, and the person opening the door doesn’t wonder why you cheaped out.
That’s the baseline. What you actually want is for them to text you a photo because they’re genuinely excited. You want the arrangement to last more than three days. And you want to feel confident hitting “order” without crossing your fingers.
We deliver to Battery Park City every day—residential buildings, offices, doorman lobbies, wherever you need them. If you order before 10 AM, we’ll have them there between 9 AM and 1 PM. That’s the same day, not “we’ll try” or “depending on availability.” Just reliable delivery from our Midtown shop to your person’s door.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been in the same family for decades. We’re located at 3 West 51st Street, right in the heart of Midtown, and we’ve been delivering fresh flowers across Manhattan long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
Battery Park City isn’t the Financial District. It’s quieter, more residential, full of young families and professionals who actually live there—not just work there. That means birthday deliveries often go to high-rise apartments with specific delivery windows, doorman protocols, and residents who notice quality because they’re used to it.
We’ve done this thousands of times. We source from trusted growers, arrange everything by hand in our shop, and deliver it ourselves. No middleman warehouse. No drop-shipping from New Jersey. Just fresh flowers that actually last.
You place your order online or call us directly. If it’s before 10 AM and you need same-day delivery to Battery Park City, we’ll get it there between 9 AM and 1 PM. If you’re ordering the night before or want a specific afternoon window, just let us know.
Once your order comes in, one of our florists hand-selects the freshest stems we have that day. We’re not pulling from pre-made arrangements sitting in a cooler. Every birthday bouquet gets built specifically for that order—roses, lilies, seasonal blooms, whatever fits the style you picked.
Then we package it, add a card if you’re including a message, and send it out with our delivery team. They know Battery Park City—the buildings, the loading docks, the doorman procedures. If there’s any issue with access or timing, they call you or the recipient directly. No guessing. No “sorry we missed you” notes.
You’ll get a notification when it’s delivered. If something goes wrong, you’ll hear from us before you have to track us down.

Every birthday bouquet starts with fresh-cut flowers from growers we’ve worked with for years. That means roses that aren’t already browning at the edges, lilies that haven’t fully opened yet, and filler greens that actually add to the arrangement instead of just taking up space.
You’re not getting a standard size chart with “deluxe” and “premium” markups that barely look different. You tell us your budget and style preference, and we design something that fits. If you want all roses, you get all roses. If you want something colorful and seasonal, we’ll pull together what’s freshest that day. If you need it to match someone’s apartment aesthetic or favorite colors, just say so.
Battery Park City has a lot of luxury high-rises, and delivery there isn’t always straightforward. We’ve delivered to buildings with loading dock requirements, strict doorman sign-in policies, and residents who aren’t home until 7 PM. Our team handles that coordination so you don’t have to send three follow-up texts wondering if it showed up.
If you want a custom message on the card, we’ll handwrite it. If you need a specific vase or want to add a potted orchid instead of cut flowers, we can do that too. The goal is simple: fresh flowers that look like you put thought into it, delivered when and where you need them.
Yes, as long as you order before 10 AM. We’ll deliver between 9 AM and 1 PM that same day.
If you miss that window, we can still deliver same-day, but it’ll likely be in the afternoon or early evening depending on our route. If you’re ordering after 2 PM, it’s smarter to call us directly at the shop so we can confirm timing instead of assuming it’ll make it.
Battery Park City is part of our regular delivery zone. We’re in Midtown, so it’s a straight shot down the West Side. No extra fees, no “outside our range” upcharges. Just standard same-day delivery.
If there’s a doorman, we leave it with them. Most Battery Park City buildings have front desk staff or concierge service, so that’s rarely an issue.
If it’s a building without a doorman and no one answers, our driver will call the recipient directly. If they still can’t connect, they’ll call you to figure out next steps—whether that’s leaving it at the door, coming back later, or delivering to a neighbor.
We don’t just drop flowers on a doorstep in a city like New York and hope for the best. If there’s any question about security or access, we make contact first. You’ll know what happened either way.
We hand-select stems the morning of your delivery. Nothing sits pre-arranged in a cooler for days waiting to get ordered.
Our flowers come from growers we’ve used for years—not random wholesale lots. We check them when they arrive at our shop, and we don’t use anything that’s already past its peak. Roses should have tight buds with no browning. Lilies shouldn’t be fully opened yet. Greens should be crisp, not wilted.
If you’ve ordered from big online flower services before and been disappointed, it’s usually because they’re coordinating with a local fulfillment partner who’s working from whatever inventory they have on hand. We’re the shop. We’re the ones arranging it and delivering it. There’s no middleman cutting corners to hit margin targets.
Absolutely. If you want specific flowers, colors, or a certain style, just tell us when you order.
Some people want all roses. Some want a mix of seasonal blooms. Some need something that fits a specific color scheme because they know the recipient’s apartment or favorite palette. We’ll work with what’s freshest that day and build it to your specs.
For the card, we handwrite your message. No printed labels. If you want it to say something specific, include it in your order notes or mention it when you call. If you’re not sure what to write, we’ve seen thousands of birthday messages—we can help you keep it short and meaningful without overthinking it.
Yes. We deliver to residential buildings, office towers, lobbies, doorman desks—wherever you need the flowers to go.
Battery Park City has a lot of high-rises with specific delivery procedures. Some buildings require check-in at the front desk. Some have loading dock access only. Some have concierge services that handle all packages. Our delivery team knows the area and has done this enough times to navigate those logistics without you needing to coordinate it.
If there’s a specific instruction—like “leave with doorman” or “call recipient when you arrive”—just include that in the delivery notes. We’ll follow it. If something comes up that we can’t resolve on-site, we’ll contact you directly instead of just marking it undeliverable and moving on.
