About Friends Apartment

 & why it made the Carpe City list

  • Does that apartment building look familiar? (You know it’s something because there are like 20 million people on the corner taking pictures) 
    • The building on Bedford and Grove with rounded windows is the façade you see on Friends even though the show filmed in a Burbank studio. 
  • And, as all New Yorkers know, the apartments featured were a bit “lavish.”  
    • A struggling actor like Joey would likely have an apartment just large enough to fit a duck and a Lay-Z-Boy.  Ahhh city living. 
  • The building is home to The Little Owl, a quaint and fantastic restaurant.  It is tough to get a reservation, but definitely worth the effort.   

Carpe City Trivia

Want to have your own Friends apartment?

While you might not be able to live in this building, you can have a little piece of Friends in your living room. Pottery Barn now has a Friends collection, which means only one thing: you can own the apothecary table.
