Chatoff offers these insider tips for navigating the Flower District like a floral trade pro:
- Be Early Birds – Plan to arrive before 7am on Saturday for the best experience. Flowers are delivered at 3 a.m. and the markets buzz with trade customers starting at 4 a.m. Observe how the trade shops. The week before Valentines Day is one of the busiest holiday weeks of the year.
- Bargain– Negotiate like the trade does. Don’t accept the first price offered. It’s an accepted business custom. Plan to pay cash for your purchases. ATMs are on-site.
- Relax – Take note of your sweetheart’s favorite flowers as she picks her bouquet. Take a romantic early morning stroll along the sidewalks of the districtand enjoy a festival of fragrances and colors that dazzle the senses and make hearts sing.Bring a bucket and water to keep flowers fresh in the carif you plan to stop for brunch before you get Valentines flowers home.
