Predictably, the masses are flocking to Soho's Central Perk pop-up/mini Friends museum. Just how long is the line for the free cup of 8 O'Clock Coffee and a chance to take a selfie on the famed orange couch? According to one Instagrammer: it "wraps at least three blocks from what I can see." Others report that the wait is about an hour. The pop-up is producing some missives from everyone from Post critic Steve Cuozzo to Cherche Midi's chef Shane McBride. Read on for the full Central Perk Situation:

The grip of Friends is still strong, as tourists prepare to waste an entire NYC day waiting in line for bad coffee and a photo. #CentralPerk

the #CentralPerk cafe doesn't look anything like the one from #Friends - I saw at LEAST three people of color in there
