Hear from Our Customers
You place an order before 2 PM on a weekday, and it arrives the same day. Not tomorrow. Not “we’ll try.” It gets there.
The flowers look like what you ordered. They last more than three days. Your recipient texts you a photo because they’re genuinely impressed, not just being polite.
If you’re sending to a Tudor City building, the delivery goes smoothly because our drivers know the doorman protocols, the loading dock schedules, the security desk procedures. No frantic calls asking where to go or how to get in. It just works.
That’s what you’re paying for. Reliability when it counts. Quality that holds up. Service that doesn’t make you babysit the process.
Columbia Midtown Florist is a family-owned flower shop that’s been serving Tudor City and the surrounding Midtown neighborhoods for years. We’re not a call center. We’re not a wire service charging you fees to send your order somewhere else.
We’re located in Midtown, which matters more than you’d think. When you need same-day flower delivery in Tudor City, proximity makes the difference between “maybe” and “done.” We source directly from the NYC Flower District every morning, so your arrangement gets designed fresh the day you order it.
Tudor City residents know what quality looks like. With a median household income over $136,000 and a population that’s 98% white-collar professionals, you’re not looking for generic grocery store bouquets. You want arrangements that match the sophistication of where you live and work.
You call or order online. If you have something specific in mind, tell us. If you’re not sure, we’ll ask a few questions about the occasion, the recipient, and your budget. That conversation takes two minutes, not twenty.
We design your arrangement the same day. Our team heads to the NYC Flower District each morning to source what’s fresh and in season. Seasonal flowers aren’t just prettier—they’re stronger, last longer, and look better because they’re not fighting against nature’s calendar.
For delivery, we work with your schedule. Orders placed before 2 PM Monday through Friday get delivered the same day throughout Manhattan below 100th Street, including all of Tudor City. Our drivers know the buildings, the doormen, the procedures. They’re not guessing their way through Midtown.
If something goes wrong—wrong address, recipient not home, building issue—you can call us directly. You’ll talk to someone who knows your order and can fix it, not a call center reading from a script three states away.
Ready to get started?
Every arrangement starts with flowers sourced that morning from the NYC Flower District. Not flowers that sat in a warehouse. Not flowers shipped cross-country in a box. Fresh stems cut and purchased the day we design your order.
You’re getting same-day delivery throughout Tudor City and Midtown Manhattan when you order before 2 PM on weekdays. That includes coordination with building staff, doormen, and security desks—because in a neighborhood where 5,000 people live in 13 cooperative and rental buildings, delivery logistics matter.
For corporate clients, we handle weekly arrangements for office spaces with scheduled delivery that requires zero effort on your end. For personal orders, we design for every occasion: birthdays, anniversaries, apologies, celebrations, sympathy, or just because.
We also specialize in wedding flowers and work with venues throughout New York City. Full floral service for weddings of any size, from intimate ceremonies to large receptions.
One thing we don’t do: charge wire service fees. When you order from a local florist like us, more of your budget goes into the actual flowers and design, not into corporate middleman fees. Better blooms, better design, better value.
Orders placed before 2 PM Monday through Friday get same-day delivery throughout Tudor City and Manhattan below 100th Street. After 2 PM, we can sometimes still make it happen depending on the delivery address and our schedule, but we can’t guarantee it.
Weekends are trickier. Saturday delivery is available but with earlier cutoff times, usually around noon. Sundays are possible for some areas but not guaranteed—call us directly if you need Sunday delivery and we’ll tell you straight whether we can do it.
If you’re ordering for a specific time—like a birthday lunch or office surprise—let us know when you order. We’ll coordinate the delivery window. Just keep in mind that we can’t promise exact times down to the minute because Manhattan traffic and building access are unpredictable, but we get close.
Freshness is the biggest factor. We source from the NYC Flower District every morning and design your arrangement the same day you order it. Most chain services and wire services store flowers in warehouses or ship them cross-country in boxes before they even get arranged. By the time they reach your recipient, they’ve already been cut for days.
Seasonal selection matters too. Flowers that are naturally in season are stronger, have larger blooms, more vibrant colors, and significantly longer vase life. We design with what’s fresh and in season, not what’s been forced to bloom out of cycle in a hothouse somewhere.
Proper care makes a difference. We condition stems correctly, use clean water with flower food, and design arrangements that allow airflow. We also include care instructions with every delivery so your recipient knows how to keep them looking good.
The result is arrangements that last a week or more instead of wilting in three days. You’re paying for quality that holds up, not just something that looks good for 24 hours.
Yes. We deliver to all 13 buildings in the Tudor City complex, including the cooperatives, the rental building, and the hotel. Our drivers are familiar with the neighborhood and know how to navigate building protocols.
Tudor City has specific access requirements—doormen, security desks, loading procedures. Our team knows which buildings require ID, which ones have package rooms, and which ones need advance coordination. That familiarity means smoother deliveries and fewer issues.
If you’re sending to a specific apartment or office, include the building name or address, apartment number, and recipient’s phone number when you order. If the recipient isn’t home, we’ll coordinate with building staff to ensure safe delivery. Most Tudor City doormen are excellent about accepting deliveries for residents.
For office deliveries in the surrounding Midtown area, same thing applies. We work with building staff regularly and know the procedures at most major Manhattan office buildings.
National services are middlemen. When you order from 1-800 numbers or big online platforms, they take your order, subtract their fees, then forward what’s left to a local florist who fills it. You’re paying for corporate overhead, marketing costs, and wire service fees—money that doesn’t go into your arrangement.
We’re the actual flower shop designing and delivering your order. No middleman. More of your budget goes into better flowers and better design. You also get accountability—if something goes wrong, you call us directly and talk to someone who knows your order and can fix it.
Quality control is another difference. We source fresh from the NYC Flower District each morning. National services often use flowers that have been warehoused or shipped long distances. The difference shows up in how long the arrangement lasts and how good it looks when it arrives.
Speed matters too. We’re located in Midtown, so same-day delivery throughout Tudor City and Manhattan is genuinely feasible. National services often promise same-day but rely on local florists who may or may not have availability. We control our own schedule.
Yes. Corporate clients usually have specific needs—brand colors, office aesthetics, seasonal themes. We work with your vision instead of forcing you into preset designs.
Tell us what you’re looking for: color palette, style preference, size requirements, budget. If you have photos of your office space or examples of arrangements you like, share them. We’ll design something that fits.
For weekly corporate flower delivery, we rotate designs to keep your space looking fresh without requiring input from you every week. We’ll check in periodically to make sure you’re happy with what we’re sending, but the goal is to make this effortless on your end.
We also understand office logistics. Deliveries happen during business hours, we coordinate with reception or office managers, and we work around your schedule. If you need arrangements for a specific event or client meeting, we’ll prioritize timing.
Manhattan’s corporate market has high standards. Nearly 7,400 people work for private companies just in the Tudor City area, and the surrounding Midtown neighborhood is packed with offices. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what works in professional environments.
