Friends TV Show Apartment
If you’re a huge fan of the hit TV show Friends like I am, then visiting the famous apartment building featured in the series is a must when visiting New York City. This iconic corner building served as the exterior shot for Monica, Rachel, Joey, and Chandler’s apartments.
The show itself was not filmed here, it was filmed on a set in California, but you will instantly recognize the brick exterior from the show’s opening scenes.
Address: 90 Bedford Street on the corner of Grove Street in Greenwich Village
This is an active area, so be aware of cars when trying to get your photo-worthy opportunity to relive one of my most beloved sitcoms of all time.

Friends forever
Visiting the Friends apartment building in NYC is a quick but memorable experience. I stood in awe for a while at the fact that I was at the same location of this iconic building that I spent many years watching in the opening scene of the Friends TV show. The area surrounding this building is beautiful so take some time to enjoy the Greenwich Village area, snapping photos, and enjoying the laid-back charm of the area.
Enjoy the journey,
