The Search for the Iconic Fountain
If you're a Friends fan visiting New York City, you might be tempted to track down the famous fountain from the opening credits. However, despite the show's NYC setting, the fountain has always been in California.
The Real Location of the Friends Fountain
The fountain used in the Friends opening credits is located at the Warner Bros. Ranch in Burbank, California. It's been there for over two decades and has never been in New York City.
The Misidentified Fountain
Cherry Hill Fountain: A Common Mistake
Many Friends fans mistakenly believe that the Cherry Hill Fountain in Central Park is the one from the show. While it's a beautiful fountain, it's not the real one.
Why the Confusion?
The confusion likely stems from the show's setting in New York City and the general resemblance of the two fountains. Many tourists have shared photos of themselves at the Cherry Hill Fountain, mistakenly believing it to be the iconic Friends location.
Exploring Central Park: A New York City Gem
Even though the Friends fountain isn't in New York City, Central Park itself offers plenty of stunning sights and activities. Consider taking a pedicab tour to discover hidden gems and iconic landmarks.
So, the next time you're in New York City and you spot a circular fountain, remember: the real Friends fountain is thousands of miles away in Hollywood. But don't let that deter you from enjoying the beauty and history of Central Park.
