Which city was never home to a Central Perk cafe?

And the answer is ...

c) Rome

Friends inspired fans all around the world to seek the Central Perk spirit, so perhaps it's no surprise that business owners saw a golden opportunity to use the name. Two years after the series ended, a Central Perk cafe opened in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; it was so akin to the original that James Michael Tyler, who plays the cafe's manager in the show, was on hand for its opening. A pop-up copy in London appeared briefly in 2009, and in 2010 another shop opened in Beijing. The original set is housed in the Warner Brothers museum in Burbank, CA.
