A trip to New York isn't the only thing brewing this September! Warner Bros. Television Group, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Eight O'Clock Coffee (America's Original Gourmet Coffee) have joined together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series premiere of Friends with a variety of unique experiences for fans and coffee lovers alike.

Headlining the celebration is a pop-up replica of Central Perk, the neighborhood COFFEE SHOP frequented by the characters on the show, which will be serving free cups of Eight O'Clock Coffee - including their limited-edition Central Perk Roast, specially created for the occasion - to mark 20 years since the debut of the Emmy®-winning comedy.

The fully functioning pop-up Central Perk coffee bar will be located at 199 Lafayette Street (at the corner of Broome Street) in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. It will open its doors to the public on Wednesday, September 17, following a special media preview Monday and Tuesday, September 15-16, and will remain open through Saturday, October 18. The shop's business hours are Mondays-Fridays, 8:00 am-8:00 pm, and Saturdays-Sundays, 10:00 am-8:00 pm.

Fans of the long-running hit series can check out signature props from the show in the decorated storefront, relax on Central Perk's iconic orange couch, order coffee off the famous Central Perk chalkboard or win prizes through fun and exciting in-store promotions.

As part of the celebration, The Rembrandts, who sang the show's iconic theme song 'I'll Be There For You", stopped by the makeshift Central Perk COFFEE SHOP on Tuesday night to perform the hit tune. Check it out here!
