Top points from the source

• A list of iconic screen destinations couldn’t start any other way.
• Friends is one of the most popular TV series of all time.
• Although the first episodes were shot in way back in 1994, the fate of Joey, Chandler, Phoebe, Rachel, Ross and Monica, the iconic Friends cast, remains popular to this day.
• The titular friends are sassy New York residents and now fans of the show can follow in their footsteps, heading to Central Perk, the cafe from Friends before snapping a selfie in front of Monica’s apartment.
• Unfortunately, Central Perk cafe is, like much of the iconic set, located inside the Warner Brothers studio in Los Angeles.
• However, New York remains the backdrop to the series, so if your destination is Central Perk New York, head to Greenwich Village.
