"Cj Hendry's Flower Market took New York by storm last year — and we can't wait to see what she's got in store for the 2025 version at Rockefeller Center," said EB Kelly, Senior Managing Director at Tishman Speyer and Head of Rockefeller Center. "Come for the flowers, stay for the shopping, the food, and the amazing 360° views from Top of the Rock."

About Rockefeller Center:
For more than 90 years, Rockefeller Center has been a global icon in the heart of New York City. Conceived by John D. Rockefeller Jr. as a "city within the city," the Center comprises 13 buildings connected by an underground concourse. Under the stewardship of owner and operator Tishman Speyer, the Center has become the city's most dynamic place to work, play, dine, shop, and celebrate.
Rockefeller Center is home to New York's leading attractions including The Rink, offering ice skating from October to March each year; and the Top of the Rock Observation Deck, featuring two new experiences: The Beam, recreating the iconic 1932 photo, and Skylift, elevating visitors on an open-air glass platform three stories above 30 Rock's 70th-floor rooftop for unrivaled, unobstructed 360-degree views. The Center is also a coveted retail destination for families and kids, featuring flagship stores from LEGO, FAO Schwarz, Catbird, and McNally Jackson, and home to restaurants by Michelin-starred and James Beard-winning chefs such as NARO, Le Rock, and Jupiter.
