The ground floor is an incredible flower shop called Fleurs Bella. The winning combination of 11th street being a “dead end” street due to Grace Church on Broadway and great proximity to every subway at Union Square and West 4th street makes this building a hidden gem. With very flexible policies, this co-op speaks to a different time in NYC. Written by Sydney Blumstein who was born and raised in the building by Meris Blumstein.
