I've shopped here a few times before and had such great experiences! Whether ordering ahead of stopping in impromptu, their staff was incredible helpful and their floral selections are breathtakingly unique and lovely creations! read more

Saffron Brooklyn - Large floral arrangement - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Terrible custom service. The woman who helped me (4/15/23) made me feel like my presence was an inconvenience, like I was bothering her by coming to the store to buy flowers. When I told her my budget ($30) she basically rolled her eyes and then proceeded to do nothing to help, suggest, brainstorm, or work with me. She maybe spoke 3 words to me the entire time. The first arrangement she made was genuinely ugly - as if she wanted to prove a point and embarrass me for having such a "low budget"? Or pressure me into spending more? Total with tax was $35. The 3 flowers pictured were $21, which meant the 2 tiny twigs of green filler were $10?? Give me a break. The final kicker? The flowers drooped after 1 day. Will never go back there. read more

Saffron Brooklyn - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a negative experience here. The manager asked if I needed help, I said no, and I didn't realize I was standing in the entrance of her shop. While I understand this is a busy area at Essex market, it would've been nice to have a more positive interaction. "excuse me" or "please" or "thank you" can go a long way. I happened to be standing by her store, I didn't realize I was standing in front of the store, and this woman in a unfriendly tone, told me to move, I wish she would've just asked politely. Essex market is such a nice place, it is very frustrating and sad to see such negative behavior there. Frustrated. Update: I tried to call the location in Brooklyn to resolve this, a very nice gentleman answered the phone, and said the manager would call back... Update: I'm updating this review ,I really appreciate that the manager did call back and explained they were trying to manage a busy store location with foot traffic. The manager did say " it wasn't anything personal" I appreciated that. And the manager did say " i'm sorry that you took it that way" - I still have mixed feelings about that phrase. Because I'm not sure if " i'm sorry that you took it that way" is a polite and authentic apology. Although I would've wish for, "I am sorry that I didn't use more positive words" , I certainly do appreciate the call. I understand how busy this market can be, and I'm sure it can be difficult to manage a store in this area, I would wish for more positive kind words and nice interactions going forward. Thank you for the call. Based on the entire set of interactions, I would give a 3.8 out of 5 stars. read more

Ordered flowers to be delivered to my partner the Monday before Valentine's Day. Filled out their online order form, clicked some boxes, picked some colors, paid the invoice and then waited. I really had no idea how the arrangement would come out but based on reviews, I had a good feeling. Fast forward to delivery day and the 20 texts I get from my partner who is absolutely thrilled with the bouquet. She said her coworkers were all like "oooooo" and "ahhhhhh" when they were delivered. Will be using Saffron from now on for local flower deliveries! read more

Saffron Brooklyn - Direction I gave them: purple, white, green, wild, loose - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Places like this make me realize how precious and unique Brooklyn is. I love Brooklyn, I am never leaving this borough. Well, unless I get shipped off to overseas. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and I was looking for a gift for my uncle. He loves plants and since I pass by this place everytime I walk home from the subway, I knew they carried plants and flowers. The owners were extremely nice and friendly, especially the woman. She was really warm, laid back, and knowledgeable. How come people like this don't work for Target? Should I even be asking this question? I found a cute little plant that is called a Zebra for my uncle. It is similar to a cactus, but with tentacles and it has the color shading like a Zebra. Hence, the name. The Zebra is a native plant to Mexico and South America. They wrapped up the plant and made it look nice and presentable as a gift. They also carry other things including jewelery, cufflinks, tie clips, plants, flowers, some clothes, light fixtures, and other little trinkets. A great place to find a gift for someone or yourself. Whoever procures goods for this store has good taste. I will be back to get more things. read more

I love love love love Kana, Tetsuji and Saffron. The shop and their work are a dream! I'm a very particular person when it comes to florals and the people I work with. When I was getting married, I emailed a bunch of florists/shops for quotes and prices, and even though Saffron wasn't the quickest to reply, they ended up being the BEST and a dream team to work with. I felt like I was talking to real people, rather than an ever-churning corporate machine. Kana and Tetsuji are artists. They create these personal, stunning, and gorgeously designed wedding florals off of you, what you do, the vibe you give. During the 8 months or so we were in contact, they were crazy busy running their shop, creating amazingly tasteful installations for designers (Jill Stuart) and had a million other projects, and yet made time to make sure I felt heard and taken care of. They adjusted the budget for me multiple times (even till the last minute), listened and incorporated every single one of our concerns, and tactfully talked me out of some of my terrible ideas. I went to Saffron not knowing what I wanted but knowing the vibe and they gave me something better than I could dream of! I gave them all of our trust and they really lived up to all of our expectations. These photos are a testament of the quality of their work, their passion for refined excellence, and their warmth and generosity as people. HIRE THEM NOW! read more

This place is truly unique and amazing. I have only been to the Essex Market location, but there is always something new and exciting. The staff are also super kind, friendly, and willing to teach you about flowers. They also have great plants (healthier and prettier than neighboring plant shops). read more

Husband just sent me flowers from Saffron as a surprise. They are gorgeous, were delivered safely to my Midtown office, and have huge high quality blooms. Extra kudos to them - my husband ordered the flowers over the phone, sight unseen. I won't comment on price (since they are a gift!) but I'm super pleased. Will have to stop by the store some time! read more

Saffron Brooklyn - Beautiful roses and peonies in my November bouquet. - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

In Asia, floral arrangement is a practiced art tradition (in Japan it is called 'ikebana'), much like the painting and instrument playing that were practiced by the nobles of Europe. Each flower arrangement is like a painting in display, or a rhythm being played on an instrument. Let the leaves be the brush, and the flower petals be your colors. It is good to love something beautiful, and to have trust in talent. read more

Beautiful and unique flowers. Lovely arrangements that you can't get anywhere else. Whoever gets flowers here will know it's special immediately, they are not like the dime a dozen flower shops. read more

Saffron is an exceptional neighborhood florist and plant store. Anytime I want to buy flowers for s gift or myself, I only go to Safron. I have also purchased plants and the selection and quality are really good. They also have a section of lovely arty jewelry, really one of a kind pieces. I have bought myself several pieces and several for gifts. The owners are so lovely. So lucky that they are a part of my neighborhood! read more

Ordered a bouquet 20-22 hrs before it needed to be delivered, paid $180 (includes tax + delivery). (Chose the "Omakase" option ("Leave it to us!"), but requested roses and tulips.) The bouqet was terrible, barely any roses and no tulips. After 3-5 days the roses started to wilt. They were properly cut and fed food. I contacted saffron via email about the terrible bouquet, and they used the excuse that the order was placed 24 hours before delivery (and also stated tulips weren't in season, which is an acceptable reason): "You had ordered a day before which means we have to use what is available and freshest in store at the time." They said they will refund me $20, but i never received it. It's been 6 months. Pics attached are after 5 days. Don't order from this florist if its 24 hours or less before delivery time, clearly they can't deliver on it and it should be removed as an option from their services. read more

These people are amazing. Don't come here if you're just looking for a bouquet of flowers. For that, go to Midtown Florist over on Atlantic. Saffron is for when you want something unique and special and unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. You'll pay for it, though. read more

OMG...these people are incredible. Picture this: I'm in Seattle, my wife is flying to NYC on Valentine's Day, and I've been so busy producing a professional conference that I haven't bought flowers. Oh, no! I found Saffron through Yelp (thanks!!!) and ordered at 2am EST on Valentine's DAY. On the order form they clearly stated they could not guarantee delivery after the ordering deadline earlier in the week. I told them it was "my bad" and to just do the best they could, and even Sunday would be fine, since I was ordering so late. Guess what? They delivered a gorgeous bunch of flowers to my wife about 2 hours after she arrived in Brooklyn...about 6pm ON VALENTINE'S DAY. And it snowed that day! Talk about excellence...whew! My wife was thrilled...and I was thrilled that she was thrilled. And they even took the time in the middle of their "crazy busy" day to e-mail me about what they were doing. I cannot recommend Saffron highly enough. I wish them abundant prosperity. read more

Incredibly disappointing, ordered flowers Thursday 4/13/17 used my phone the website was mediocre no pics just multiple choice, I gave them the blessings of creating a birthday arrangement for my mom who literally lives less than 10 minutes away, the arrangement cost 75+ tax and a $10 delivery charge which should've been free since my mom lives less than 10 min away. My mom received a very small arrangement that came in a small gift bag and had many dead and wilted flowers on Friday. My mother's birthday was Sat the 15th and most of the bouquet was distressed I called Saffron and the part owner proceeds to question me what type of bouquet, how decayed were the flowers, I should've called the day of the delivery at no point did she offer an exchange nor a refund she just wanted to refund the $10 dollars delivery fee "which should've been free anyway ". Moral of the story, "shop at pro flowers". Leave these small mom & pop non professionals alone! I could've disputed this charge on my credit card but seems like they fight hard for their money and customers don't matter so let them keep their $100!!! @KT, in response to your rebuttal of my comments, do you or anyone at Saffron read your reviews I think not because the same exact incident happened prior to my order. Again I work in sales and will do all I can within reason to satisfy my customers and "I'm not the boss" that being said, you didn't offer to exchange the flowers, nor did u offer a partial refund I hope this helps people in the future your customer service is non existent read more

This is one of those rare little shops where almost every single item for sale makes my heart stop a bit. It's the ideal place to shop for gifts. The owner (a super nice guy from the neighborhood) has a great eye for beautifully designed objects of all types: jewelry, housewares, vintage clothing, garden accessories, plants, stationery, etc. Somehow he's managed to find a whole assortment of items that bridge the aesthetic gap between clean/modern and vintage/handmade, which kind of amazes me. The result is that this store gives you the warm and fuzzy feeling of being in an antique shop, yet anything you buy will also look right at home in a modern apartment. I think there's something here to suit just about anyone, and I like that I don't have to go digging through tons of crap to find it. Everything is just laid out there -- beautifully -- for you to see and admire. An extraordinarily pleasant shopping experience! The prices are surprisingly good, too. I hope this store does really well because I love having it in the neighborhood. read more

As someone who believes in mysticism and fairies, I often walk in just to absorb the energy via osmosis. Saffron is like a Japanese Lord of the Rings. This is the most unique and special flower shop that I have walked into in NYC... I view it as my special nook. It's small, inconspicuous and from another world. You will realize this the minute you walk in... This is the type of store I go to when a friend is having a really hard time and I want to get them something unique and beautiful or you need to knock someone's socks off with a gift they would never expect. The store is not laced with roses and babies breath. But instead, interesting varieties of succulents, dried flowers and strands of plants/flowers that you rarely see in these parts. I even think the yelp bouquet photos are deceiving, because those are special orders... the shop does not make you feel "wedding bouquet" and valentine's day (because if it did, I would not have written this review). read more

Finally! A stylish florist for (plant) geeks and dreamers. I walked in on a whim almost a year ago and was immediately struck by the amazing range of flowers and plants on display. When I inquired about a flower I had never seen before, my heart nearly exploded with joy when the owner told me the latin name of the plant. Latin! She knows plants!!! The owner actually knows and cares about plants, she's not just someone trying to make a quick sale. That care and love shows in every inch of the store. It's impossible not to walk in and realize that you are in a place filled with thoughtful attention to every detail. I drop by whenever I am in the neighborhood and always find something lovely to brighten my day, whether it's a $5 nosegay that looks like you paid $40 for it, a teeny tiny baby succulent, or a pretty piece of jewelry. All of it is beautifully packaged and wrapped before you leave. I learned that the owner does weddings as well. Given her reasonable prices and knockout style, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to hire her for my wedding. If you are looking for a florist, snag her before the rest of the world discovers what a gem this place is and the prices start going up. The owner has an amazing eye and a rare gift for design that stands out amongst all the Brooklyn hype and eager hipsterishness. I never tire of the quiet loveliness of the store. Easily one of the best. read more

They made my bouquet for the wedding and I loved it. I got so many compliments and people said this is the nicest bouquet that they have ever seen. It was simple and elegant and cheap (around 100 dollars). It made me so happy. Thank you guys! read more

Saffron Brooklyn - loved my bouquet. it was all I could have hoped for and more. - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am always hunting for a reason to stop in. Saffron has the best taste, the raddest owners, actually good vintage clothes, inexpensive and artful flowers, a really cool vibe, good art on the walls, etc.. In an area with a billion kitchy, uninteresting little places to buy stuff, this place stands out as true jewel. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

My friend sent me a floral arrangement from Saffron to celebrate my impromptu wedding. It was the most gorgeous bouquet I had ever received. Beautiful, seasonal colors that were arranged in a very modern and understated way. I loved it. And they lasted for quite some time. I also love the store-- it's so perfectly curated with new discoveries each day. read more

This place is a dream come true for flower and plant enthusiasts in the neighborhood. It isn't surprising that they recently turned the run down Chinese food place next door into an art gallery, because everything they create is a work of art. I live down the block and always admire their displays when I walk by. My husband and I have purchased a couple of succulent plants and bouquets from them. They have also been hired by our condo board to create floral arrangements and plantings for our building. Everything has been beyond beautiful, healthy and long-lived. If you are looking for something unique, look no further than this little shop. The only downside of the place is that it is too expensive for me to purchase everything they have! However, even if you are on a budget, I recommend just browsing the shop and art exhibitions, taking in the sights and inhaling the smells. You won't be disappointed! read more

Long overdue review. Went in just before christmas looking for mistletoe (to surprise the bf, awwww). I'd been looking everywhere, to no avail. I went to Saffron to try my luck and Kana explained that they didn't have any at the moment but were going to the market the next morning and would call me if they picked any up. Lucky me, Kana called the next day and I went in and got my mistletoe. Best part was she priced it super reasonably: I got a nice bunch which she wrapped up beautifully for $7 (brown paper and twine, ditto the "rustic" style others have mentioned). Actually what was really the best part was how nice and genuine Kana was, and how keen she seemed to help me and problem-solve. I really appreciated her excellent service and enjoyed chatting with her about how it had been a bad (few?) years for mistletoe. I could tell she really loves what she does and knows her shit. So anyway, Kana and Saffron are awesome! And the shop is super cute. I will probably be back to get some succulents at some point. read more

I am visiting Brooklyn and wanted to get some flowers for my wonderful host who happens to be a girl because we all know girls love flowers. Based on the reviews, I decided to stop in as it was also close to where I'm staying. I'm extremely pleased with my decision as the staff was super friendly and helpful and the finished product turned out great! I would absolutely recommend a visit as you will get honest service and they will help your flower needs! read more

Saffron Brooklyn - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was initially skeptical when I saw a florist that was rated on Yelp as a 5-Star but I have to say that they very much deserve it. I bought a corsage from Saffron for a "prom" myself and my girlfriend were attending. Kana was a great pleasure to work with on the phone and very amenable. The corsage itself was beautiful with a gorgeous yellow rose, perfectly sized for the item, with a couple extra adorning flowers. Even better, Kana also took extra care in packaging the corsage for me to carry across the city, exhibiting the same care with this step as they did with the corsage itself. They are now my go-to florist within Brooklyn. Kana and her husband are wonderful people with a great looking shop. read more

If I could give these guys six stars, I would. Kana and Tetsuji treat customers like family. They did my wedding last week, and every arrangement was beautiful, assembled with care, and everything was delivered on time to the venue. Tetsuji delivered everything himself, and explained/confirmed the choices we had made for every arrangement. My guests told me that it was a beautiful ceremony and that the flowers were amazing - I really am grateful and happy that I worked with Saffron to create such a lovely event. They had ideas to help me along the process of selecting what I needed (because I know nothing about flowers and had no idea where to start with selecting a bouquet), and asked all the right questions to make sure they were prepared for everything. I enjoyed working with them, and loved every arrangement. Thank you for such a wonderful event. read more

The most certain 5 stars that I've given! I am SO impressed with Saffron. TJ was so helpful, and was clearly committed to providing a great experience. He did everything that he said, and even followed up with a text to ensure all was well. As for the order..... wine, cheese, and flowers all of which my wife adored. She even loved the overall packaging as well, and the delivery was also spot on too! I have no doubt which company I will use in the future. And living in Texas, and knowing an awesome NYC florist could not work any better. Thanks Saffron!!!! read more

Saffron Brooklyn - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I never write Yelp reviews but I felt compelled to leave one for Saffron. I recently called in an order from Los Angeles and Kana couldn't have been more helpful or efficient. She put together a beautiful arrangement to my exact specifications (my delighted recipient sent photos), which was delivered the same day for a very reasonable price. Thanks Kana! read more

Oh boy, do I love Saffron! They were the florist I chose for my wedding, and this choice was by far the most rewarding of all of my vendor choices! Kana somehow executed a very loose, unfocused sense that I had of theme and color for the floral arrangements for our reception with gorgeous results. She literally looked at a Pinterest board that had dozens of different styles of arrangements that I kind of liked, and managed to cull from that a wonderful vibe and aesthetic for our special day with the flowers. I couldn't have been happier. My now-husband was thrilled at the results as well, and this from a guy who prior to the wedding day frequently questioned why we were getting flowers at all :P. But my favorite pieces of their work were the bouquets for me and my bridesmaids and my hairpiece. They were inspired and gorgeous, the colors were spot on, and they hit that sweet spot between quirky and organic. We didn't look like we had just gone to pick all variety of flora from the woods and meadows, nor did we have the "standard" wedding flowers either. They were lovely, understated, and, best of all, unique. If you're looking for a florist for your wedding or event that offers that special something extra that sets their work apart, and you want to find someone who can masterfully execute your unique vision (however unclear it may still be) with their own inspired personal touches, and who can do all this within a very reasonable budget, look no further than Kana and Saffron's talented team! (Plus, their shop is super cute and full of fun trinkets and pieces of art.) read more

Saffron Brooklyn - Florists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I live near Saffron and immediately thought of them when I needed a bouquet for my City Hall wedding. I knew I was in good hands immediately. Kana and Tetsuji were incredibly thorough and communicative and attentive to my requests--the bouquet came out exactly as I'd hoped and was an amazing value. They opened the store early to allow for our morning pickup, and they even made my husband a boutonniere as a surprise. When we came back a few months later to pick up some arrangements for a party, they remembered us and were very sweet and asked all about our wedding. Kana and Tetsuji have encyclopedic knowledge of flowers and plants, which results in unique, out-of-the-ordinary combinations that are truly special. And they're extremely flexible and able to work in a range of budgets. I am getting misty just thinking about what a wonderful place this is! I can't recommend it highly enough, especially for anyone in the market for wedding/party arrangements. read more

Saffron created the flowers for my wedding and did an absolutely wonderful job. The flowers were beautiful and Saffron's prices are much better than I found in any of the other the neighborhood flower shops. Plus the owners of Saffron were a joy to work with. They were endlessly patient and caring as I tried to decide what I wanted. And the end result was just lovely. I will be recommending Saffron to all my friends when they need flowers for an occasion (or for no occasion at all). read more

I thought finding a wedding florist would be easy but boy, was I wrong. I think my biggest constraint is budget. I personally don't want to spend something so outrageous that will only last a day but for some reason, everything I want or would like to have seem to cost more than I expected. Seriously, it's just flowers and I wasn't even asking for anything exotic or extravagant that is out of season. After interviewing a couple of other florists, I came to Saffron through a friend's referral. Based on the pictures on her website, I really like her natural and rustic designs. I decided to make an appointment to visit the owner, Kana, at her shop and she was a delight to speak to. I genuinely enjoyed talking to her and I felt like I knew her for a long time. Her shop is also very adorable filled with different plants and flowers. We spent about a good hour talking about my vision of the wedding and sifted through pictures for inspiration. In the end, we both felt like we had a good connection and I thought it was a good sign. She even gave me a very rough draft of the potential quote. Although the quote was still above my initial budget, I felt she wasn't pushing me to go with it and you can tell she tries to help you think of ways to stay within budget. I walked away feeling very confident about her and our vision. I almost wanted to hire her but one thing that set me back was her responsiveness to e-mails. She was suppose to send me a revised quote but it probably took 2-3 weeks after our initial meeting for her to get back to me. Then I replied with these other questions about the quote and still no response. In her first e-mail, she did say she was really busy and apologized and I totally understand. But as a business owner, I think she needs a better method of communicating to her customers that she is really busy and make us aware about her turnaround time on e-mails. As a customer, responsiveness is one of the key factors as to whether I want to hire a person, especially for a wedding event that can be very stressful for the bride. I know she probably has other brides to attend to now but it would be nice to send a quick email letting me know she will respond to my questions as soon as she is free instead of leaving me hanging. I'm sure Kana does great work but at the end of the day, you also don't want to be hunting down your vendors like crazy leading up to your big day. I am probably the only Yelper who is giving this place less than 4 stars but that's just based solely on my opinion of her responsiveness, which deserves 3.5 stars. Other than that, Kana is a great person to talk to and I actually wouldn't mind going back someday just to pick up a bouquet of flowers for other special occasions. read more

I generally don't rate places 5 stars unless I've been there more then once. And even more rarely do I admit I was mistaken.... well you're about to see it here... I purchased a 15/30 off of some other site and expected to come and get their lunch special all you can eat for 14.xx I presented the coupon and was told I couldn't use it for the lunch time all you can eat. I argued it said nothing on the coupon about that... after looking at the lunch special it mentions not valid with coupons... even though I had a little attitude the waitress was so nice and accommodating, she actually felt bad that we couldn't use the coupon ... she even gave us a free cup of sangria... Let me tell you what I think of their food... it was the best tapas I've ever eaten... I didn't like their rice balls or the rice in the paella. But the sea food was cooked perfectly. The chicken quesadillas were the best I've ever had. The Cesar salad was so rustic and elegant, with large shreds of reggiano mmmmm.... the pork skewers were good but slightly by a smidgetttt too overcooked (but its hard when its in the sauce).... everything is made to order and very flavorful. We tried every course on that meal and 85 percent of it was really good. 15 percent was average. But what sets this place apart was the sangria's... we ended up buying 4 more glasses of that deliciousness in red and in white. And ill tell you this the quality was Spain.... I've bee there and I can tell you they have the best sangria ever.... between the amazing service and the amazing wine at 495 for a tall glass I have to throw in the 5th star... believe me when I say I will be back... read more

Two weeks to my wedding and I'm having "logistical issues" (i.e., unresponsiveness) with the shop that's supposed to handle my flowers. I decide that I need to work with someone more reliable, so I turn to Yelp and find people raving about a place in my neighborhood. I call Saffron, speak to Kana, and within 2 hours, she has prepared two different price quotes (at my request), both of which are totally within my budget (and my budget was quite small, as weddings go). I get off work, run over to the store (taking Kana by surprise) and seal the deal with a deposit. What did I get? The most amazing flowers I think I've ever seen. Kana instantly understood the aesthetic I was going for (loose and informal but not too casual or country) and did a beautiful job carrying it out. She let me provide the containers (a mixture of different glass jars and family heirloom mint julep cups, which I completely trusted her with) and made a very fair price adjustment when she saw that some containers were smaller than she originally thought. She also made me a beautiful bouquet to carry. Perhaps most important, Kana was totally on top of things. She remembered the times I told her I would be at her shop and called to check on me when I was running late. She held the bouquet at the shop for my mom to pick up, and delivered the rest of my flowers to the venue. She made everything seamless and easy. I highly recommend Saffron for wedding flowers, especially if you're looking for something a little unusual. I wish I had another occasion to order flowers for! Instead I'll have to make do with strongly hinting that my husband stop by here often. read more

I ordered flowers a week before the date, I wanted Daisy's which were out of season so they quickly emailed me with a compromise. They delivered the flowers on time and they were beautiful. Amazing customer service and an even better arrangement! read more

I'm just wild about Saffron. I finally stepped in after passing it many times, thinking it was just some boutique for hipsters with money to burn. But I went inside the tiny shop and I'm so glad they are doing what they do. It's the dream shop I never realized I dreamed of. I have already brightened my home a couple of times with their dried botanicals, and have walked home feeling inspired. read more

5-star quality that your special someone will love. Great spot if you're sick of giving roses from a deli or online McFlowers. Elite wedding/fancy hotel quality flowers. Lots of interesting and exotic flora, but you don't have to be a florist yourself to figure it out yourself--they are good at pulling it all together. The one problem: bloody expensive. I spent over $100 w/o a vase, and when I saw the arrangement, it looked thin, even puny. That said, running a small business is tough, and I'm sure the wholesale prices for exotic flowers are pretty high. read more

The flowers were gorgeous, and the staff were friendly. My only complaint was that it was so terribly expensive, and the selection was a bit limited. But I am not from New York, so perhaps I am spoiled by better prices and selection in New England. read more
