Friends

The opening to the hit show “Friends” was not filmed in New York, but rather in Burbank, California.  The fountain seen in the show was located on “Park Blvd” at the Warner Bros. Ranch, a small property that sat off-site from the main Warner Bros. Studios lot.  The ranch was not open to public visitation.  The entire ranch was demolished in 2023, with sound stages taking over the space. However, the fountain was relocated to the Embassy Court of the main Warner Bros studio lot. Here is how it originally appeared at the ranch.

LOCATION: 411 N Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505 (demolished), relocated to 4000 Warner Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505

What is open to the public is a recreation of the “Central Perk” cafe, which can be found on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour over at the main lot.

LOCATION: 4000 Warner Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505

Some autographed scripts can also be found on display on the Warner Brothers Studio Tour.
