Hear from Our Customers
You’re juggling meetings, deadlines, and a personal life that doesn’t pause for logistics. The last thing you need is wilted flowers showing up three days late or a “we tried to deliver” notice that sends you scrambling.
When you order flower arrangements from us before noon, they arrive the same day. Not tomorrow. Not “between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.” if you’re lucky. We deliver to Battery Park City doormen, offices, and residences with the kind of reliability you’d expect from a service charging Manhattan prices.
Every arrangement is designed by hand in our Midtown shop. We source from growers who understand that longevity matters as much as first impressions. You’re not getting grocery store fillers or roses that droop by day three. You’re getting flowers that last, presented in a way that doesn’t need explaining.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been operating in Manhattan for generations. We’re located at 3 West 51st Street, which means we’re close enough to Battery Park City to deliver quickly and experienced enough to know what works in this market.
We’ve handled everything from corporate accounts in the Financial District to film production florals across NYC. That range matters because it means we understand both high-volume consistency and custom, one-off requests that need to be perfect.
Battery Park City clients expect quality that matches their lifestyle. You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for the option that doesn’t waste your time or embarrass you when it arrives. That’s what we do.
You place your order through our website or by phone. If it’s before noon, we’ll deliver the same day. If it’s after, we’ll confirm a delivery window that actually works for your schedule.
Our designers select stems based on availability and seasonality. That’s not us being vague—it’s us refusing to use subpar flowers just because they’re cheaper. If a particular rose isn’t fresh that day, we don’t use it.
We arrange everything in-house at our Midtown location. No outsourcing to a network of random florists who may or may not care about quality control. Then we deliver directly to your recipient in Battery Park City, coordinating with doormen or office managers as needed.
You’ll get confirmation when the delivery is complete. If there’s an issue—wrong address, recipient not available, building access problem—we contact you immediately, not three hours later.

Every flower arrangement includes hand-selected stems arranged by someone who’s been doing this professionally for years. You’re not getting an algorithm-generated bouquet or whatever was left over from yesterday’s orders.
For Battery Park City deliveries, we coordinate with building staff. Most luxury residences in the area have specific delivery protocols, and we’re familiar with them. If your recipient lives in one of the high-rises near Brookfield Place or the newer developments along the waterfront, we know how to navigate that.
Corporate clients get dedicated account management. If you’re sending flowers regularly—weekly office arrangements, client gifts, event florals—we’ll set up a system that doesn’t require you to re-explain your preferences every time.
Same-day delivery is available across Battery Park City for orders placed before noon. We also offer scheduled delivery if you’re planning ahead for a specific date. Pricing reflects the quality of what you’re getting: premium stems, expert design, reliable service. We’re not the cheapest option in NYC, and that’s intentional.
We deliver same-day to Battery Park City if you order before noon. That’s not a soft deadline—it’s the actual cutoff. After noon, we can usually still accommodate next-day delivery or schedule something for a specific date that works for you.
The reason we can do this reliably is proximity and infrastructure. We’re based in Midtown Manhattan, and Battery Park City is close enough that we’re not dealing with the logistics nightmares that trip up national services. We also don’t outsource deliveries to third-party couriers who are juggling 50 other stops.
If there’s a building access issue or the recipient isn’t available, we’ll contact you immediately to figure out a solution. We don’t just leave flowers with a neighbor and call it done.
Most of our arrangements last seven to ten days with basic care. That’s significantly longer than what you’d get from a grocery store or a service that’s optimizing for cost over quality.
The longevity comes down to sourcing and timing. We work with growers who cut flowers at the right stage of bloom, and we don’t let stems sit around for days before arranging them. When you order, we’re often designing with flowers that arrived that morning.
Care instructions are straightforward: trim stems at an angle every few days, change the water, keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight and away from heating vents. If you do that, you’ll get the full lifespan out of the flowers. If you don’t, they’ll still last longer than most alternatives.
You can customize. If you have specific color preferences, flower types you want included or excluded, or a particular style in mind, just tell us when you order. We’ll work with what’s fresh and available that day to create something that matches your request.
The caveat is seasonality and availability. If you’re asking for peonies in November, we’ll let you know that’s not realistic and suggest alternatives that achieve the same look. We’re not going to charge you premium prices for subpar imported flowers just to technically fulfill a request.
For corporate clients or recurring orders, we’ll keep notes on your preferences so you don’t have to re-explain every time. If you liked the last arrangement we sent, we can replicate that style. If you didn’t, we’ll adjust.
For Battery Park City residential deliveries, we coordinate with doormen or building staff. Most buildings in the area have a system for accepting packages and deliveries, and we’re familiar with how that works. If the building won’t accept the delivery, we’ll contact you to arrange an alternative.
For office deliveries, we confirm with reception or the office manager. If there’s any confusion about the recipient’s location or availability, we’ll reach out before just leaving flowers somewhere random.
In rare cases where we can’t complete the delivery—wrong address, building refuses access, recipient moved—we’ll contact you immediately to figure out next steps. We don’t make you wait until end of day to find out there was a problem.
Yes, our prices are higher than national online services, and there’s a reason for that. You’re paying for hand-selected flowers, expert in-house design, and reliable same-day delivery in Manhattan. Those things cost more than an algorithm-generated bouquet shipped from a warehouse.
National services optimize for volume and margins. They’re often using cheaper flowers, outsourcing design to whoever’s available in their network, and relying on third-party couriers who have no accountability to you. That model works fine if you’re sending flowers to someone in a suburb where expectations are lower.
Battery Park City isn’t that market. If you’re sending flowers to someone in a luxury building or a Financial District office, the arrangement needs to match the context. Cheap flowers in flimsy packaging don’t communicate what you’re trying to communicate. Our pricing reflects the quality required to not embarrass you.
