Could “Friends” fans BE any luckier?

Visitors enter a non-descript downtown building in a trendy Manhattan neighborhood, not unlike where friends Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler lived on the show, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary later this month. There are different sections to walk through in 8,500 square feet of loft space, where more than 50 original props from the show are on display. James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther, the barista forever in love with Rachel, was at a press preview for the Pop-Up. He said he was amazed at the detail.
