Warner Bros. is bringing 'Friends' to New York City with a pop-up experience.
The nostalgia-filled 'Friends' environment has set re-creations, props and costumes all celebrating the beloved TV show.

There's also a space to learn Monica's tidying tips, a re-created Central Perk coffee shop and the legendary orange couch.
"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, senior vice president of global themed entertainment for Warner Bros. Consumer Products, said in a statement. "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."
Tickets for the immersive experience, put on by Warner Bros. and Superfly, go on sale on Friday, Aug. 2.The pop-up experience, which will of course have a 'Friends'-themed merchandise store, runs from September 7-October 6.
The celebration doesn't stop there. Warner Bros. and Giphy are launching a 'Friends' GIF channel with more than 2,300 GIFs from every single episode of 'Friends.'
"We're excited to celebrate 25 years of fandom with the show's biggest immersive experience to date," Jonathan Mayers, co-founder of Superfly, said in a statement. "The 'Friends' New York City Pop-Up captures the series most memorable moments with the characters, memorabilia, set re-creations and exclusive merchandise."
