Is your job a joke? You're broke? Your love life's D.O.A.? If it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year, don't worry -- this pop-up shop will be there for you.

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Friends (we're all old), Warner Bros. is setting up a Central Perk pop-up coffee shop in Manhattan, complete with iconic orange couch and appearances by Gunther.

Fans of the hit NBC sitcom will remember Central Perk as the neighborhood spot where Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Joey, Ross and Chandler wasted away their days, making quippy statements and warming our hearts.

The real-life Central Perk will be located on 199 Lafayette St., open from Sept. 17 to Oct. 18. Attendees will be able to peruse props from the show, sit upon the legendary couch and listen to Phoebe-inspired musical performances. There will also be free (could this get any better?) coffee served, provided by Eight O’ Clock Coffee.
