Friends (1994)
First aired
The Friends apartment building, Bedford Street at Grove Street, Greenwich Village
That corner with the fire escapes is the one in the cutaways between scenes, though Monica's purple apartment and Central Perk were built on a Warner Bros. stage in Burbank, a whole continent away. In real life the ground floor holds the Little Owl restaurant rather than a coffeehouse with a giant orange couch. This six-story building went up in 1898 and 1899 and is full of apartments people actually live in, so take your selfie from across the street and skip the marker pens.
