UPDATE: OPENS DECEMBER 12, 2025! Open daily 7AM-11PM
Deets: Central Perk Coffeehouse will officially open its first New York City location on Friday, December 12, at 20 Times Square (NE corner of 7th Ave & 47th St).
Reimagined for today’s fans, the Times Square café blends nostalgic FRIENDS touches with modern New York energy. Guests can enjoy a curated menu developed under the direction of Top Chef and James Beard Award–winning chef Tom Colicchio, including his NYC-exclusive hero sandwich, The Tribbiani.
The menu also features playful NYC-exclusive drinks inspired by the series — like The One with NYC Matcha (a strawberry-matcha cheesecake–inspired latte) and NY Relaxi Taxi Tall Iced Cooler (a lavender-infused iced green tea and lemonade).
The space will showcase artwork by pop artist Burton Morris, whose work appeared throughout the original series, adding a bold, nostalgic touch to the contemporary café design.
