Yes, it can. More than likely, youll have no problem meeting new people, but believe it or not, making friends in New York can be almost as difficult as renting an apartment.

Is Friends set in NYC?

Friends was a traditional studio-based sitcom, set in Manhattan but filmed across the country in LA. Almost everything we see was shot at the Warner Brothers Ranch in California, on Stage 5 (for the first season) or Stage 24 (all the rest).

Was any of Friends filmed in New York?

Although Friends coincides with New York City, filming for the show mostly took place at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California (via Condé Nast Traveller). While the interior sets from Friends were on the West Coast, the exterior of the friends apartment building was an actual place in New York City.
