New York always feels like a city where everything is slightly too much — too loud, too fast, too caffeinated — and yet somehow orchids fit into that energy perfectly. They’re delicate and stubborn at the same time, which is probably why orchid lovers tend to feel strangely at home here. If you’re wandering the city with just enough time and curiosity, you can actually build a lovely orchid-themed escape rather than just another day of dodging taxis and tourists.
