Readers' Choice: Best Florist in Middletown

Who's your favorite in town?

If a woman in your life says "don't bother buying me flowers," you're probably better off doing it anyways. Why? Because no matter how traditional of a gift they are, flowers are an immediate pick-me-up. They're fresh, colorful and almost always a pleasant surprise. That said, you can't give just any flowers. (Forgo the carnations and don't even think about picking a few out of the front lawn.) Make it a bouquet, the bigger the better. Roses always win. Luckily, there are dedicated local florists who can help you get it right. This week, we want to know: which local florist is your favorite? Is it Broadway Floral Designs, Chaves' Gardens, Stop & Shop, Shaws, Water's Edge or Little Flowers Floral? Vote in our poll below, then share your …

No place like Provencal. Best quality meats, salads, cupcakes, cookies, pastry of all kinds. Love the Thanksgiving wrap made with fresh out of the oven real turkey! Soups all made from scratch, delicious Kale, Chili and chunky chicken made from real chicken breasts roasted in the oven. MMMM. Hungry thinking about it.   more ›
