Hi loves! Happy Wednesday to you all!
Can you believe it’s been 20 years since the popular sitcom ‘Friends’ first aired on NBC? In honor of the ‘Friends’ 20th Anniversary, Eight O’clock Coffee transformed a pop-up SoHo location into the memorable Central Perk coffee shop! Fans lined up around the block and waited for over an hour to tour the replica ‘Friends’ coffee shop frequented by Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe.
Central Perk showcased show props, cast member costumes, and a wall covered in black and white photos from the show. While visitors waited for free coffee provided by Eight O’clock Coffee, local TV stations were conducting interviews- asking people to recite their favorite ‘Friends’ quotes! There were also several contests and giveaways for a chance to win ‘Friends’ memorabilia. If you weren’t feeling lucky, you could also purchase t-shirts, bags, and coffee mugs! The tour ended at the famous orange couch, where you can actually sit down and have your picture taken by the coffee shop staff!
Central Perk is located at 199 Lafayette Street in SoHo and will be open until October 18th! Find out more by visiting http://www.eightoclock.com/friends/.
