Love Romance flowers in Harlem

A romantic send in Harlem lands at a brownstone doorstep, a workplace desk, or a Lenox Avenue restaurant table — the just-because and Valentine's surprise, the date-night flower, the I-love-you between anniversaries. The residential brownstone rows of Strivers' Row, Astor Row, and the Mount Morris Park Historic District take surprise-at-home deliveries, which means a florist who can time a drop for when a partner is home and who knows whether the address is a walk-up or an elevator building. The 125th Street corridor and the campus offices at City College and Columbia Manhattanville take workplace romance deliveries to a named front desk — the surprise that arrives mid-afternoon and turns the whole floor. And the Lenox Avenue and Frederick Douglass Boulevard date-night corridor — Red Rooster, the Cecil, Sylvia's — takes an arrangement to the host stand timed to a reservation so it's waiting on the table. The signature look here is the long-stem red rose and the editorial red-and-blush hand-tied, and both travel well to a stoop, a desk, or a dinner.
