How has this not happened sooner?! The coffee shop from the ’90s hit “F.R.I.E.N.D.S” Central Perk is coming to Times Square! There have been a few pop ups over the years but this is the first permanent shop coming this fall! One opened in Boston in 2023 and has been very successful this location will be on the northeast corner of 7th Avenue and 47th Street.
“Central Perk is one of the most iconic landmarks in television history. After the incredible response in Boston, bringing Central Perk to Times Square isn’t just the next step — it’s a homecoming,” said Peter van Roden, EVP of Warner Bros. “This is about delivering an experience in the heart of Manhattan, where the story began, and letting fans from around the world step into a space that’s both nostalgic yet freshly reimagined. There’s no better place than New York City to celebrate the legacy of ‘Friends’ and to continue building on the connection fans feel with Central Perk.”
