Hear from Our Customers
When you’re sending flowers in Manhattan, timing isn’t negotiable. You need them there—fresh, beautiful, and on schedule. That’s where most flower shops fall short. They promise same-day delivery but show up late, or the arrangement looks nothing like what you ordered online.
Columbia Midtown Florist handles flower delivery differently. Every arrangement is made by hand in our Midtown shop, just blocks from Central Park. We’re not outsourcing to a warehouse across the city. We’re local, we know the neighborhoods, and we deliver throughout Manhattan the same day you order.
You get flowers that look like the photo. You get delivery that happens when it’s supposed to. And you don’t waste time wondering if your gesture is going to land the way you intended.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving New York City for generations. We’re located at 3 West 51st Street in the heart of Midtown—just blocks from Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue—and we’re easy to find whether you’re a local or visiting the area. If you’re searching for a flower store near Central Park, this is it.
We’re not a national chain pretending to be local. We’re a real Manhattan flower shop with real florists who understand what it means to deliver in this city. Traffic, tight schedules, doormen, hospital policies—we’ve navigated it all. That experience matters when you need fresh flowers delivered across town in four hours.
Ordering flowers from Columbia Midtown Florist is straightforward. You browse our selection online, choose the arrangement that fits the occasion, and select your delivery date. If you need same-day flower delivery, place your order before the daily cutoff and we’ll handle the rest.
Once your order comes in, our florists start working. Every bouquet is hand-crafted in our Midtown shop using fresh blooms we’ve selected that morning. We don’t pre-make arrangements and let them sit in a cooler for days. Your flowers are made fresh for your delivery.
From there, we coordinate delivery based on your recipient’s location and schedule. Whether it’s an apartment on the Upper East Side, an office in the Financial District, or a hospital in Chelsea, we know the area and we know how to get there on time. You’ll get confirmation when the flowers are delivered so you’re never left wondering.

When you order from Columbia Midtown Florist, you’re getting hand-crafted arrangements made with fresh, hand-selected flowers. We offer roses, lilies, sunflowers, orchids, and seasonal blooms depending on what’s available and what fits your occasion. Every arrangement is designed to last—not wilt two days after delivery.
We handle all types of orders. Birthday bouquets, anniversary arrangements, sympathy flowers, corporate gifts, wedding florals, and everyday blooms. If you’re celebrating something or expressing condolences, we have options that fit the moment without feeling generic or overpriced. For Central Park, NY residents and businesses, this means you can order flowers for a picnic proposal near Bethesda Fountain, a corporate event at The Plaza, or a sympathy arrangement for a family on the Upper West Side.
Delivery covers all of Manhattan and the five boroughs. That includes Central Park, NY, Midtown, Upper East Side, Soho, Financial District, Chelsea, Gramercy Park, Tribeca, and everywhere in between. We also deliver to hotels near Central Park like The Pierre and The Carlyle, hospitals throughout Manhattan, and office buildings across the city. If you need same-day delivery, we offer 4-hour and 24-hour options depending on when you place your order.

Yes. Columbia Midtown Florist offers same-day flower delivery throughout Central Park, NY, Midtown, and all of Manhattan. If you place your order before the daily cutoff time, we’ll deliver your flowers the same day.
We also offer 4-hour delivery for last-minute orders. That means if you forgot an anniversary, need flowers for a meeting this afternoon, or want to surprise someone today, we can make it happen. Just order online or call us directly and we’ll coordinate delivery based on your recipient’s location and schedule.
Every arrangement at Columbia Midtown Florist is hand-crafted by our florists using fresh blooms. We’re not shipping pre-made bouquets from a warehouse. We’re making your arrangement in our Midtown shop the day it’s delivered.
That said, flowers are a natural product. If a specific bloom isn’t available or isn’t fresh that day, we’ll substitute with something comparable in color, size, and style. We don’t downgrade the quality or skimp on the design. If you have specific requests or concerns about substitutions, let us know when you order and we’ll make sure your arrangement meets your expectations.
We deliver throughout Manhattan and the five boroughs. That includes neighborhoods around Central Park, NY like the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Hell’s Kitchen, and everywhere else in between. We also deliver to Soho, Chelsea, Gramercy Park, Financial District, Tribeca, and other areas across the city.
If your recipient is in a hotel, hospital, or office building, we handle those deliveries too. We’re familiar with building policies, doorman protocols, and hospital restrictions, so your flowers get where they need to go without delays or confusion. If you’re not sure whether we deliver to a specific address, just reach out and we’ll confirm.
We deliver to hospitals and office buildings throughout Manhattan regularly. We’re familiar with the logistics—security desks, delivery windows, visitor policies—and we know how to navigate them without holding up your order.
For hospital deliveries, we confirm the patient’s room number and any restrictions before we send the flowers out. Some hospitals don’t allow certain types of arrangements in specific units, so we make sure your flowers are appropriate for the location. For office deliveries, we coordinate with reception or the front desk to make sure your arrangement reaches the right person. If there’s a specific delivery instruction or time window, include that information when you order and we’ll follow it.
If you take care of them properly, most arrangements from Columbia Midtown Florist will stay fresh for 5 to 7 days, sometimes longer depending on the type of flowers. Roses, lilies, and orchids tend to last longer than more delicate blooms like tulips or peonies.
To get the most life out of your flowers, trim the stems at an angle every couple of days, change the water regularly, and keep them out of direct sunlight or heat sources. We include care instructions with every delivery so your recipient knows how to keep their arrangement looking good. If your flowers arrive damaged or wilted, reach out to us right away and we’ll make it right.
You can do both. Our website makes it easy to browse arrangements, choose your delivery date, and check out securely online. If you prefer to talk to someone or have specific questions about customization, delivery timing, or flower selection, you can call us directly at our Midtown shop.
Ordering online is faster if you already know what you want. Calling is better if you need help choosing an arrangement, want to confirm same-day delivery availability, or have special requests that aren’t covered on the website. Either way, you’ll get the same quality and service. We’re here to make the process as easy as possible so you can focus on the gesture, not the logistics.
