“I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
Cause you’re there for me too”
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I grew up watching this TV show and was a family favourite for me and my family, and I finally got to check out Friends fest and it was amazing. My friend Alicia and I had so much fun!
There were lots of photo opportunities, a cool tour of Monica & Rachel, Joey & Chandler and Ross’ homes which were on point! The detail was amazing, I felt like I was a part of the Friends show. We also got to taste some delicious food at Joeys – pizza and Phoebe Buffay halloumi fries and of course, as I’ve got a sweet tooth, I tried a delicious triple chocolate donut and strawberry donut, all I can say is yum!
COCKTAILS ANYONE? They had a Friends bar set up and lots of yummy cocktails to try and of course I did a little taste test and tried the “how you doing?” Which was made of Lime & sugar shaken with coconut rum and pineapple & chocolate bitters. I also tried the “salmon skin roll” which was a mix of gin shaken with fresh lychee, lychee liqueur, lime, sugar and a twist of lemon. They were both DELICIOUS and sweet tasting with a kick.
As well as lots of fun photos taken they also had a cool set up where you could do the Ross and Monica dance. It was so funny to see everyone doing the ross and Monica’s routine to “The Trouble with Boys” tune and playing it was a great laugh.
What about Central Perk? Of course they had the coffee shop looking so cool we took pics, me and Alicia even got a drink from Central Perk – a nice fresh lemonade, yum yum!
Finished the day off by buying myself a few souvenirs which I loved. I brought a Hugsy and if you don’t know what a Hugsy is then you need to watch more Friends. I also got a Friends-themed Monopoly which my niece and nephews are definitely excited to play.
