'Very Expensive' Flordel Florist is leaving 3rd Street for new LES home

Flordel Florist is leaving its small retail space at 226 E. Third St. between Avenue B and Avenue C for a new, larger storefront at 78 Clinton St. ... yesterday marked the last day here... (thanks to Stacie Joy for the photos!) ...

According to an Instagram post from the florist, the new space between Rivington and Delancey is three times larger than its current outpost. The grand opening is expected early in January.

In May, ownership changed the signage out front from "Florist Flowers" to the tongue-in-cheek "Very Expensive Flowers."

The temp signage up now on Clinton Street...

And wait until you see how expensive their balloons are!

Earlier this month, the folks at Flordel Florist, 226 E. Third St., changed up the signage here between Avenue B and Avenue C. 

The sign originally said "Florist Flowers." The new signage — "Very Expensive Flowers" — is definitely more memorable. 

Anyway, they are running a special — the dozen red roses, previously priced at $19.99, are available for $101.11, which includes the "no sense of humor fee."
