Starting today and through the end of the month, you can find a seven foot tall Instagram-worthy heart-shaped flower arch in the heart of downtown New Rochelle at the corner of Division and Huguenot. It’s a great idea timed for Valentine’s Day, courtesy of the Business Improvement District and Enchanted Flowers.
In addition, the BID has teamed up with New Rochelle High School students to display red oaktag hearts, each with their own unique artistic style, as part of the outdoor “Gallery of HeARTworks.” Look for these hearts in the windows of participating businesses.
