TEXT
Everyone knows that the apartment
that Monica and Rachel lived in on Friends is one
of the most opulent TV fantasies of all. Yeah,
yeah, we all know Monica "inherited" the
spacious apartment from her Grandma, so
therefore it was probably rent controlled. But
even considering that, it was always confusing
how a chef and a part-time barista/waitress
made the rent on that place.
Actually, how much was that place? And how
much would it cost today?
The New York Post did the math and concluded
that that apartment would cost $4,500 a month if
you rented it today. WOOF!
Based on its location in NY's desirable West
Village and its presumed location at 90 Bedford
St., and taking into account recent listings at that
location, plus the terrace, plus average twobedroom
rent in that area…their calculations have
decided that this pad would cost $4,500.
Granted, rent was cheaper in the '90s, but so
was the living wage. Actually, the minimum
wage in New York around the time that Rachel
was waitressing was approximately $5 an hour.
So, let's just assume a magical money tree was
paying for her share of the rent.
Don't even get us started on Joey and Chandler's
two-bedroom down the hall. The New York Post
claims their place would price in the high $3,000s
per month. Soooo, imagine being a partially
employed actor with your share of the rent
costing $1,500 and you don't even have a dead
grandma to inherit the place from!
Ughh, TV magic amirite?

“John Reed was a schoolboy of fourteen years old;
four years older than I, for I was but ten: large and
stout for his age, with a dingy and unwholesome
skin; thick lineaments in a spacious visage, heavy
limbs and large extremities. He gorged himself
habitually at table, which made him bilious, and
gave him a dim and bleared eye and flabby cheeks.
He ought now to have been at school; but his mama
had taken him home for a month or two, „on account
of his delicate health.‟ Mr. Miles, the master,
affirmed that he would do very well if he had fewer
cakes and sweetmeats sent him from home; but the
mother‟s heart turned from an opinion so harsh, and
inclined rather to the more refined idea that John‟s
sallowness was owing to over-application and,
perhaps, to pining after home. John had not much
affection for his mother and sisters, and an antipathy
to me. He bullied and punished me; not two or three
times in the week, nor once or twice in the day, but
continually: every nerve I had feared him, and every
morsel of flesh in my bones shrank when he came
near. There were moments when I was bewildered
by the terror he inspired, because I had no appeal
whatever against either his menaces or his
inflictions; the servants did not like to offend their
young master by taking my part against him, and
Mrs. Reed was blind and deaf on the subject: she
never saw him strike or heard him abuse me,
though he did both now and then in her very
presence, more frequently, however, behind her
back."
