OK, so you’ve revived the “Rachel” haircut and re-watched every episode of Friends, so what’s the next step? Sleeping in the Friends apartment, of course. “The Friends Experience” – an immersive celebration of the show that launched in New York earlier this spring — has teamed up with travel company Booking.com to provide what it calls “The Ultimate Sleepover.” Diehard Friends fans will be able to spend the night in “Monica’s apartment” and even hang out at Joey and Chandler’s place. Guests will also be treated to a special tour, along with a late-night game of Phoebe’s Cab Escape Room, a Friends-themed scavenger hunt, and breakfast at Central Perk. The stays are available May 23 and May 24. Bookings start May 21 at 10 a.m. ET, and as you might imagine, they are quite pricey. (GMA)
