This Is How Much Monica's And Chandler's Apartment In Friends Costs In Real Life

Even though Friends was universally adored by people across the globe in the 90s, with its glamorisation of New York easy-living prior to 9/11 and recessions, it was also accepted that the show had its flaws.

One of which was 'how the fuck does Rachel, a jobbing waitress, afford a flat in Greenwich Village' I know Monica inherited the flat from her grandmother if my past-viewing serves me well, but still - the place was huge.

Sure, it needed to be so for the sake of production and visuals but surely it would've cost them an absolute bomb?

Well, judging by today's prices, it will have done.

In a property listing published by Which? Mortgage Advisers, a two-bedroom, open plan apartment in Lower Manhattan overlooking the skyline would set you back $4 million. That's a deposit of $400,000.

Friends ended in 2004, and it, you know, wasn't actually real. Plus, who's gonna write a comedy about a group of mates in horrific debt?
