Anniversary flowers in Albany

To the house, almost always, and Albany's restaurants are the reason. Jack's Oyster House on State Street, Cafe Capriccio on Grand, Yono's and dp on Chapel and the Lark Street rooms in Center Square are small dining rooms with no coat check and nowhere to stage a vase during service. A bouquet handed across a two-top becomes something to carry home on foot in February. Send it to the residence in the afternoon so it is waiting when the evening starts, or to the hotel room if the anniversary includes an overnight. If you specifically want a table delivery, call the restaurant first and put their answer in the order notes.

The listed arrangements in this selection start at $32.49. Delivery charges, taxes and optional extras are confirmed for the selected florist and recipient before payment.

Same-day options depend on the delivery ZIP, requested date, florist availability and that florist's local cutoff. Check the available options before paying; a city listing does not guarantee delivery today.

Yes — the 18-mile radius covers both. Rensselaer 12144 and East Greenbush on the east bank, Troy 12180 up the Hudson, and the whole Schenectady County side including Niskayuna, Scotia, Glenville and the State Street restaurant corridor around Proctors are all in range, as is Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia. Three of the eight shops are Schenectady-based, so a Schenectady-side anniversary is usually the shortest run on the board rather than the longest. Give the residential address and the evening plan; the network will route to whichever shop is closest to the drop, not to whichever is closest to Albany.
