Given its soft lighting, copper waterfall, and fish pond, it's no surprise that this zen shop attracts an after-work crowd seeking peace while browsing home goods and floral arrangements. Those looking for greenery will find house plants tailored to Manhattan sensibilities—low-light Ficus lyrata trees or low-maintenance Agave plants. For event consultations, owners Dan Dahl and Kevin Esteban usher brides-to-be into a screened-off meeting nook, where a plasma screen flashes one luscious bouquet after another. In addition to dressing up private parties and corporate functions at such institutions as the Guggenheim Museum and Lincoln Center, Dahl and Esteban also offer landscape services for anyone looking to prettify a roof or backyard. In terms of stock, D.L. & Co. candles, Lorenzo Villoresi's room-essence oils, and lamps by Kenshoma and Alice Goldsmith have all been part of past rotations. — Lexi Dwyer
