- ANNIVERSARY: Ten years of the High Line, the park that has transformed New York
- TRENDS: The business of renting fake friends to go on vacation and pose on instagram
Although they seem the same as always, 25 years have passed since the premiere of Friends, the most iconic comedy of the 90s. The rise of streaming platforms such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video and repositions in other more conventional channels have made this group of New York colleagues follow in the mouth of millions of fans , even events such as FriendFest, which took place this year in Madrid and Barcelona.
However, if there is a city linked to the lives of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe or Joey, that is New York. The Big Apple rivals Los Angeles for being the mecca of cinema, at least as far as movie and series scenarios are concerned, but what would it be like to visit it with the Friends characters? You can discover it through the personalized route proposed by Civitatis, a leading online distribution company for guided tours, excursions and activities in Spanish in 950 destinations in 120 countries. In total, it offers more than 24,300 activities and this city tour through the eyes of the Friends characters is one of them.
Ross Geller and the best museums
As adorable as (sometimes) irritating, if there is something Ross loves about New York is his cultural offer. If you had to visit in New York in one day, it would surely take you to discover spaces such as the spectacular Metropolitan Museum (MET), the MoMA or even the American Museum of Natural History , which served as inspiration for the fictional Museum of New Prehistoric History York, Ross's workplace in several seasons of the series as a paleontologist.
Rachel Green and Fifth Avenue
Although Rachel Green evolved a lot throughout the 10 seasons that Friends lasted, there was something that always remained in her character: her passion for fashion . In addition to touring the most exclusive shops and boutiques on Manhattan Fifth Avenue, surely Rachel would not miss the opportunity to accompany you on a shopping tour through the most famous outlets in the state of New York.
Monica Geller and gastronomy
If his brother loved New York culture, Monica Geller's true passion is gastronomy (in addition to cleanliness and order). Luckily for her and for you, New York is full of restaurants where you can try the best recipes from any corner of the world, from the most traditional trattoria in Little Italy to some of the most luxurious restaurants on Fifth Avenue. Another ideal dining option to discover New York with Monica could be to enjoy a cruise with food in southern Manhattan, although navigating the Hudson River is a matter that we better leave to Rachel and Joey, as we could see in the seventh season.
Chandler Bing and Madison Square Garden
Prankster Chandler Bing is, for many, his favorite character, even though on many occasions we didn't know much about his private life (there was a time when we didn't know what he worked for!). However, something that Chandler has never hidden and that he has always shared with his friends, such as Joey or Ross, is his passion for basketball, so Mr. Bing probably wouldn't allow you to leave town without watching a game of The New York Knicks with him at Madison Square Garden.
Joey Tribbiani and the nightlife
Joey Tribbiani will go down in the history of the series for being a true Don Juan , for playing Dr. Drake Ramoray and for the fact that he never shares food. Nor would he miss the opportunity to party with New York with you, among many other things, since if he demonstrated anything throughout the series, he is his loyalty to his friends. For example, to clubs and discos Oak, Marquee or Cielo . You know, he would be able to pee on top of each one of us if necessary, as he did with Monica in the fourth season of the series.
Phoebe Buffay and the Bronx
Phoebe Buffay gave us during the 10 years that the broadcast series lasted some of the most tender moments , but also some of the most disturbing. Phoebe was able to compose a song to a smelly cat and sing it with tenderness in Central Perk, but it also had a dark side and a creepy past in the low New York backgrounds ... Although for these more underground themes , sometimes I preferred to use the pseudonym of Regina Phalange. Be that as it may, I would take you on a route through neighborhoods like the Bronx or Harlem to know the contrasts of New York, and you also wouldn't have to fear: she knows the suburbs of the Big Apple too well.
