Pivot Your Travel Plans, Because a Huge “Friends” Pop-Up Is Opening in NYC

It’s been a big summer for “Friends” nostalgia. In June, Warner Bros. opened a Central Perk pop-up in Manchester. In July, Pottery Barn released a “Friends”-themed collection of home decor and tabletop pieces. Now, this fall, the biggest and most interactive “Friends” pop-up to date will open in New York City.

The “Friends” New York City Pop-Up will be open from September 7 until October 6 in SoHo. We know what you’re thinking: that you’ve already been to a “Friends” pop-up and posed for a pic on the iconic orange couch. It’s true; there have been a number of pop-ups dedicated to our six favorite friends through the years. But this one is pulling out all the stops in honor of the show’s 25th anniversary.

There will be set recreations, photo opps, props, costumes, and more. You can play foosball in Chandler and Joey’s apartment, look through the peephole on Monica and Rachel’s purple door, “pivot” a couch on Ross’ narrow staircase, pose in the fountain from the show’s opening credits, and more. And, of course, you can visit Central Perk, too. It’s going to be the ultimate fan experience.

“It’s been nearly 25 years since ‘Friends’ premiered, but the fascination and universal appeal of the hit TV series lives on with fans of all ages,” Peter van Roden, Warner Bros. consumer products’ senior VP, global themed entertainment, said in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter. “As we celebrate the show’s milestone anniversary, we are excited to bring the ‘Friends’ experience to life for our fans in a way that pays homage to the remarkable cast of characters, iconic sets and instantly quotable moments.”

It’s hard to believe it’s been over two decades since the “Friends” pilot aired on NBC. Even though the show ended in 2004, it’s still one of the most loved, most relevant, and most talked-about sitcoms of all time. So, if you’re the ultimate “Friends” fan, you don’t want to miss what promises to be the biggest fan experience yet.

Tickets are already sold out, but the website seems to hint that more may be released. Because “like Janice you never know when we’ll be back.” Truer words have never been spoken.
