The shop on the corner
A Carnegie Hill florist you can walk into
Our door is on the southeast corner of Madison and 96th. If you live around here, you've probably walked past it on the way somewhere else.
Next time, stop in, pick up an online order, or call ahead and have something made.
Across the counter
Ask for Peter or Constantine
Peter and Constantine Stamos keep the family shop going. Every arrangement is made by hand, by us, so tell us about the person before you tell us about the flowers. Does she like them loud or quiet? Does he kill every plant he owns?
That's the upside of a Carnegie Hill florist you can walk to: you can ask us in person. Giving flowers to someone nearby? Pick them up here and hand them over yourself. No buzzer, no lobby, and you see their face.
Custom work starts the same way, only earlier. The flower she carried at her wedding, or nothing yellow, ever: tell us before you come and we'll plan it. If your piece ends up on the site, we'll offer to name it after you. Floral bragging rights.

For the host
Invited to dinner down the block?
Golden Valentina sits low enough to talk over, so the host won't have to move it. Or bring an orchid plant; it will outlast the leftovers.
Before you walk over
Small things that make the visit quicker.
- Museum first? Pick up on your way back instead of carrying a bouquet through the galleries.
- Picking up an online order? Give us the name it's under.
- Know where the flowers will go? A nightstand and a dining table need different sizes.
- Walking it somewhere? A low arrangement travels better than a tall one.
