Friends Apartment Building: Real Address and Corner
The building recognized by fans as the exterior apartment building from Friends is at 90 Bedford Street, New York, NY 10014, on the corner of Bedford Street and Grove Street in the West Village.
What Is at 90 Bedford Street Today?
Today the ground floor is home to The Little Owl, and the upper floors remain private residences. That is the useful reality check for visitors: this is a real mixed-use West Village building, not a controlled studio attraction.
Can You Visit the Friends Building?
You can stop at the corner and photograph the exterior from the sidewalk. You cannot tour the apartments upstairs, and there is no fan access to the residential part of the building. If you want to do more than take a quick exterior photo, the public-facing option is the restaurant at street level.
Best Way to Stop at Bedford and Grove
Treat it like a neighborhood corner, not a sitcom shrine. Take the photo, keep moving, and avoid blocking entrances or clustering around the doorway. If you have used our guide to the Carrie Bradshaw apartment address, the etiquette is very similar: famous facade, real residents, public sidewalk only.
