NEW YORK — If you’re a “Friends” superfan, there are lots of ways to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary on September 22nd.

You can see your “Friends” on the big screen⁠— deck out your place with “Friends” furniture ⁠— wear your “Friends” as jewelry.

You can even buy the “Friends” Lego set and pretend it’s for your kid.

Warner Brothers senior vice-president Maryellen Zarakas says “Friends” transcends generations.

The show, which ended after 10 seasons in 2004, highlighted life in your 20’s ⁠— your first job, your first heartbreak, your first time your friends really become your family.

The studio has partnered with a range of companies to celebrate the quarter-century mark.

Some of the fun will include movie house screenings of popular episodes, newly remastered with never-before-seen extras.

Fathom Events has more than 14-hundred theatres on board ⁠— amounting to well over 200-thousand seats available each night.

Lego stores will be offering up a Central Perk building set.

It goes on sale September 1st for $59.99 and recreates the gang’s coffee shop and comes with figures of the six buddies, plus Gunther.

Builders can even construct the stage where Phoebe performed “Smelly Cat.”

In New York, tickets sold out in two hours for “The One with the Pop-Up” immersive experience in Manhattan.

It includes Central Perk, props for photos, and some of the iconic looks for Ross, Rachel, Joey, Monica, Chandler and Phoebe.

Lines have been around the corner for the Central Perk pop-up in Santa Monica, California.

Pottery Barn is taking a turn at “Friends”‘ merch with everything from mugs to tea towels and a reissue of the famous apothecary coffee table that Rachel tried to pass off as flea market to roommate Phoebe, who was not a Pottery Barn fan.

The assortment also includes throw pillows with Monica’s purple apartment door, the tufted Central Perch couch and classic quotes like “Joey Doesn’t Share Food.”

They even threw in wall art memorializing the show’s theme song and a doormat with the series’ logo.

Shop online at PotteryBarn.com but beware, some items have already sold out.
