Il Fiorista

A working flower shop fills the front of this Flatiron restaurant, and the kitchen leans into the theme with dishes like hibiscus harissa spot prawns and marjoram-topped strip steak. The bar runs a daily aperitivo hour from 4 to 6, and the long counter seating draws people in for cocktails and a plate of sweet potato sourdough rather than a full sit-down meal. Beyond dinner, the space doubles as a floral workshop and cooking-class venue, with bouquet-making sessions held alongside the dining room.
