Steph here. I got an early look at "The Friends Experience," an exhibit that opens Friday in Boston and runs until mid-January.
The intrigue: If the 2019 Friends pop-up at Time Out Market is any indication, the installation will draw "Friends" superfans from across New England to celebrate the TV show's 30th anniversary.
- The tour was wasted on me, a casual fan at best, but the spokesperson who guided me insists it's a good time for anyone vaguely familiar with the show. She wasn't wrong.
What to know: The installation opens Friday morning at 343 Newbury St., down the street from the Central Perk coffee shop that opened last year.
- Tickets start at $22, plus taxes and fees, with bundles and photo packages available for more.
- The gift shop is open to the public, even if you don't buy a ticket.
The interactive displays span three floors (there's escalator and elevator access) and range from a replica of both apartment sets, wigs depicting Rachel's hair and the infamous "pivot" couch.
- Here's what I saw.
