Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting flowers dropped off. You’re getting arrangements that arrive fresh, last longer, and make the impression you’re going for.
We source our flowers fresh each morning and condition them properly so they don’t wilt by evening. Your recipient gets blooms that actually look like what you ordered, delivered when we say they’ll be there.
No guessing games. No disappointments. Just flowers that work for your life in Manhattan.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving Kips Bay residents for years. We understand your pace – the hospital visits, the last-minute celebrations, the need to get things right the first time.
We’re not some corporate chain trying to figure out Manhattan. We know the buildings, the doormen, the delivery challenges. We know that when you need flowers delivered to NYU Langone or your apartment on Second Avenue, timing matters.
That’s why we handle everything from our local studio, with drivers who know how to navigate these streets and get your arrangements there intact.
Order before 2 PM for same-day delivery in Kips Bay. We’ll confirm your order and delivery details immediately – no waiting around wondering if it went through.
Our team selects fresh flowers that morning, arranges them in our studio, and wraps everything securely for transport. We’re not grabbing whatever’s left over from yesterday.
Your flowers go straight from our hands to your recipient’s door. We handle the buildings, the doormen, the logistics. You just need to place the order and we take care of the rest.

Every arrangement comes with proper conditioning so your flowers last days longer than typical deliveries. We’re not just tossing stems in water – we’re treating them right from the start.
Professional wrapping protects your arrangements during delivery through Manhattan traffic. Fragile vases and planters arrive intact, not cracked or leaking.
In Kips Bay, we deliver to all the major residential buildings, hospitals including NYU Langone, and offices. We know the area well enough to navigate efficiently, which means faster delivery times for you.
You can order until 2 PM for same-day delivery in Kips Bay. We need that time to properly prepare your arrangement and get it delivered before evening.
If you’re cutting it close, call us directly. Sometimes we can accommodate later orders depending on our schedule and your delivery location. But 2 PM is the safe cutoff to guarantee same-day service.
Orders placed after 2 PM automatically go out the next business day, which still gets you fresh flowers – just not the same day.
Yes, we deliver to NYU Langone Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital regularly. We know the delivery procedures for these facilities and work with their security and reception staff.
For hospital deliveries, we recommend including the patient’s room number and the specific building if you have it. This speeds up the delivery process significantly.
We also handle deliveries to medical offices and research facilities in the area. Just provide as much detail as possible when placing your order so we can get your flowers to the right person quickly.
We deliver throughout Kips Bay and the surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods including Murray Hill, Gramercy Park, Flatiron District, and NoMad. Basically, if you’re in Midtown East or nearby, we can get flowers to you.
Our delivery area covers from 14th Street up to 42nd Street, from the East River west to Fifth Avenue. This gives us good coverage of the residential and business areas where our customers need flowers delivered.
If you’re not sure whether we deliver to your specific address, just ask when you place your order. We’ll confirm delivery availability immediately.
We source our flowers fresh each morning from the market, not from inventory that’s been sitting around. This means your arrangements start with the freshest possible blooms.
We use proper conditioning techniques – cutting stems underwater, using flower food, and keeping everything at the right temperature. This isn’t complicated, but most places skip these steps to save time.
Your flowers are arranged the day they’re delivered, not days in advance. Combined with proper care, this typically gives you 5-7 days of good-looking flowers instead of the 2-3 days you might get elsewhere.
Yes, we specialize in same-day delivery for exactly these situations. Whether it’s a forgotten anniversary, a hospital visit, or a celebration that came up suddenly, we can usually accommodate you.
The key is calling us as early in the day as possible. We can work with tighter timelines, but the earlier you order, the more options you’ll have for arrangements and delivery times.
For truly urgent orders, call us directly instead of ordering online. We can tell you immediately what’s possible and get your order prioritized for quick turnaround.
For residential deliveries in Kips Bay, we typically work with doormen or building management to accept deliveries. Most buildings in the area have this service, which makes delivery much more reliable.
If there’s no doorman and no one’s home, we’ll attempt to contact the recipient by phone. We can also leave flowers in a secure location if you specify one when ordering, though we prefer not to leave arrangements unattended.
For important deliveries, we recommend providing a backup contact number or delivery instructions. This gives us options if the primary plan doesn’t work out, and ensures your flowers get delivered successfully.
