Elizabeth Ryan Floral Design Moving from Norfolk Street
It seemed like a match made in heaven – a flower shop beside an events hall. More specifically, Elizabeth Ryan Floral Design beside Angel Orensanz. That marriage is now history. Thirty-year flower veteran Elizabeth Ryan is packing up her floral effects and relocating uptown after nearly two years at 178 Norfolk Street. Last weekend, the small store hosted a moving sale, selling a plethora of gardening randomness.

One man helping with the fire sale informed us that the Elizabeth Ryan Floral Design is reportedly moving to the flower district in midtown later this month. West 28th Street, to be exact. Frankly, this makes more sense.

Elizabeth Ryan had previously spent thirteen years operating a small East Village shop at 411 East Ninth Street. Judging by the glowing reviews across the local internets, her custom florist business is top-notch. Big-wigs tend to utilize her services for galas and other functions. Some prestige clients reportedly include the Dalai Lama, Paris Hilton, and the New York Horticultural Society Gala. Yes, all of which muttered in the same breath keystroke.
