Profile

Opened in 1998 at Grand Central Terminal and then in 2002 at Rockefeller Center, this minimalist florist caters to commuters who pick up flowers "the same as they buy bread or milk," says manager Greg Ackell. Each week, the shop receives shipments of fresh flowers directly from places like Ecuador and Holland (so its bouquets last longer than those from the corner deli), with roses lasting up to five days and orchids lasting up to ten days. "No matter what occasion, you can cheer up somebody," says the on-duty florist; indeed, the subway-terminal shop offers a welcome display of bright daisies, cockscombs, and sunflowers, and festive hand-painted vases at reasonable prices. A cluster of red carnations, burnt orange poms, or fuchsia statice can cost less than a fiver. Vessels—ceramic, glass, and Victorian silver vases from Long Island, Africa, France, and Portugal—will up the price. In addition to providing floral designs for The Rainbow Room, 65 floors above Rockefeller, dahlia also does arrangements for weddings, bar mitzvahs, and other events. — Erin Coe

I am a lawyer in my late 20s at Davis Polk in midtown and Dahlia is a go-to place for me to quickly pick up a great and reasonably priced bouquet for a date night or my mom's birthday or when going over to a friend's place for dinner. Prices seem really fair and are really easy to understand -- there's pretty much a $5 bucket, $10 bucket, $15 bucket or $20 bouquets. The flowers are always gorgeous and fresh and definitely much, much higher quality and more exotic than what you find at a corner grocery store or in the flower section of Trader Joe's. They always last an unreasonably long time. The service is very fast too, although on a few occasions I have struck gold by asking the manager to help me put together a 3-minute arrangement. Recently I went for the poofy "Peonies" in a simple $10 vase (maybe I spent $25 overall) and they wrapped it all up and put it in a big Dahlia bag with handles. My girlfriend is still raving about how I went above and beyond! Easy!! Definitely worth putting on your map!
