Friends fans flock to New York pop-up cafe

Obsessed Friends fans on Wednesday mobbed a pop-up replica of the coffeehouse from the hit comedy series, some even camping out over-night for some free java and a healthy dose of nostalgia.

Central Perk was the celluloid coffee shop where Joey, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica and Chandler captivated millions with tales of their revolving-door love lives, work traumas, makeups and breakups.

To mark the 20th anniversary of the sitcom, sponsors opened a mock-up of the coffee bar, where New Yorkers and tourists alike took photographs on the orange sofa from the show, shopped for souvenirs and got free coffee.
