We asked readers to name the city's best florist, and you delivered: this week's winner is on 119 Lebanon St. The family-run business has been in operation for over 65 years. "I buy all of my flowers and plants from them," Marc Levine wrote on their business listing. "Quality and good prices." The store's owner was not immediately available for comment Friday. Next week's question will ask readers to name the city's best Mother's Day brunch.
