The coffeehouse promises to bring a real-world version of one of television\u2019s most beloved hangouts.<\/p>\n<p>The New York location is the second of its kind, as there is already a Central Perk in Boston. That shop features \u201cFriends\u201d-themed soups, salads, sandwiches and tartlets.<\/p>\n<p>The Times Square coffeehouse is set to open in late fall and will be a fully functioning caf\u00e9 where New Yorkers and visitors can get a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>The shop will also sell newly created merchandise and six original coffee blends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Friends\u2019 is one of those rare shows that continues to bring people together, generation after generation,\u201d said Peter van Roden, executive vice president of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences. \u201cAt the heart of that story was always Central Perk, the iconic coffeehouse and the group&#8217;s home base, set in Manhattan. It was a place where laughter, connection, and unforgettable moments were shared\u2026and it remains that today. After a warm welcome in Boston, we&#8217;re excited to bring Central Perk Coffeehouse to Times Square, a location that perfectly captures the energy, spirit, and global love for \u2018Friends,\u2019 right in the city where it all began.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n    window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n    FB.init({\n        appId : '831625585470146',\n    xfbml : true,\n    version : 'v2.9'\n    });\n    };\n    (function(d, s, id){\n    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n    if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n    js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n    js.async = true;\n    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.scrippsnews.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wanted to sit on the couch at Central Perk and pretend to be Monica, Joey or Rachel?
