Real-Life Gunther Opens His Own, Highly Realistic Central Perk from 'Friends'

If you’re going to be a superfan, you might as well make a profit. Beijing resident Du Xin has opened a near-exact replica of the famed Friends coffee shop Central Perk, down to the famous plush couch. Du’s complete devotion to detail even extends to the menu; it’s only items mentioned on the show, with down-to-the-minute citations. Du, who’s also built a similarly detailed replica of Joey and Chandler’s apartment, says his devotion to the show comes from the characters’ social, casual “living way.” [via AV Club]
