BH Flower Wholesale

West 88th runs west of Central Park like an alley of storefronts and service doors. BH Flower Wholesale stands between a tailor’s press and a freight entrance at 256 W 88th St, turning the stoop into a hub of buckets and stems. Cut-flower shops in upper Manhattan cycle through different wholesalers each season; this one keeps the deliveries steady, rain or hail.

It handles direct-pickup lots for retailers, crates for small studios, and drop shipments for online orders—pallets slip out before noon and reloads creep in by 2 a.m. They also price individual stems in cash envelopes. Anything left over heads to the donation cooler behind the loading dock. Directions: paste this map into your phone and the pin drops right in front of the roll-up door. A regular call ahead gets you on the same-day list—*917-000-1234*.
