Where are Monica and Chandler's apartments?
In the TV show Friends, what is the real world address for the building always shown in exterior shots of Monica's (and the separate apartment across the hall which was formally Chandler's, and is now Joey's) apartment building?
Best Answer
From GVSHP:
No. 90 Bedford Street, on the southeast corner of Bedford and Grove Streets, stood-in as the exterior of her building.
In the ground floor of their building was the coffee shop, Central Perk, where the gang spent the other half of their time. There is a ground floor food establishment at 90 Bedford, but Central Perk is a little more down-to-earth than today’s real-life counterpart, the Little Owl restaurant.
The apartment is numbered 5 for the first part of the series; however, after being pointed out that it's situated too high to have such a small number, it's re-numbered to 20;
There is no balcony on Monica's Apartment when seen from the outside, also the fire escape is inbetween where Chandler and Joey's apartment and Monica's Apartment should be however when seen from the inside there are 2 fire escapes one for each apartment

Was the Friends apartment filmed in real life?
Of course, the show was actually filmed on a Warner Bros. studio set in Burbank, Calif., so their apartment was fictional, but the exterior shots were filmed at a real building located at 90 Bedford St. in the West Village.Is the Friends apartment on top of Central Perk?
While Central Perk exists solely on a Los Angeles soundstage, the space that would house the corner-side caf\xe9 below the building where Monica, Rachel, Chandler, and Joey lived is very much real.The Full Monica and Chandler Story | Friends
