Have you watched the NBC sitcom titled Friends? If you haven’t you should. Although it has been over 25 years since the production of the sitcom, it is still as hilarious as hell to watch. Central Perk is a coffeehouse in this sitcom. The six main protagonists of the tv series frequently visited Central Perk, which is situated in New York City's Greenwich Village.
The coffee shop features small tables with chairs that extras on the show often occupy. These, from the main camera’s angle, are behind the large orange sofa in the middle of the coffeehouse. There is the green chair on the right, the coffee table and the table and chair on the left, which are nearly always used as the main setting for any scenes in the coffeehouse.
In the earlier episodes, irrespective of how busy the coffee shop became, those seats were usually always available for the main characters. The artwork in the back of Central Perk was changed every three episodes (including images of King Kong and Uncle Sam), but the layout of the furniture remained largely unchanged for the entire series.
The most prominent feature of Central Perk is the large orange couch that the characters usually sit on. It usually seats four of the Friends at a time. One of the others then occupies the green chair on the right and, if all six are present, there is a table with one chair to the left that sits the last person.
Rarely is anyone else ever seen on the couch and the guys consider it their own. For instance, Chandler is seen sitting reading, when a young man comes in and goes to sit down on the green chair, only for Chandler to promptly usher him away.
Another instance is when Rachel complains about sitting by the window instead of the couch, or when the Friends came in only to see the couch taken, and leave.
The couch is also seen in the opening credits of the show in front of the large fountain the cast of Friends dance in. At the end of the credits, all of the friends sit on the couch at once as Monica turns off the lamp to the right.
Central Perk has inspired various imitations. In 2006, Iranian businessman Mojtaba Asadian started a Central Perk franchise, registering the name in 32 countries. The decor of the coffee houses is inspired by Friends, featuring replica couches, counters, neon signage and bricks. The coffee houses also contain paintings of the various characters from the series, and televisions playing Friends episodes.
