VALENTINE’S DAY IS THIS FRIDAY!
You do not want to be one of those people standing in line at the deli, buying a last-minute bouquet on Valentine’s Day. It’s a far better idea to order beautiful flowers now from expert designer Mel Furukawa—his clients include Daniel Boulud’s Feast and Fetes Catering, City Hall Restaurant, and The Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Palm House and Atrium. Call him at 917-446-4300, or stop by his shop at 120 Duane (between Church and Broadway). Just tell him your budget and any style parameters and you’ll be set. Sponsored.
