Fans of the television characters Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross can get a taste of what it’s like to lounge around as a group of ‘Friends’ when the sitcom’s iconic Central Perk coffee shop opens a pop-up location in Toronto this summer.

The announcement comes a week after a Seinfeld-themed pop-up bar is scheduled to open in July.
