One of the things you are asked when you are working the kiosk in Central Park is "where is the 'Friends' fountain?"
The actual fountain that is featured in the opening credits of the 1990s TV show "Friends" is on a studio lot in Burbank California.
This is the Cherry Hill fountain that they think is the Friends fountain.

| Cherry Hill fountain - no houses nearby |
Not only do they not look much alike - aside from a general fountainy-ness but Cherry Hill is in the middle of the Park - there are no houses nearby and in any case not five-story houses that look like the ones behind the real fountain. There's nothing but very tall apartment buildings on the streets along Central Park.
Could they be more mistaken?
