It's The One Where Monica Returned to Her Old Apartment.
Friends star Courteney Cox posted a nostalgic throwback to the beloved '90s sitcom, taking a stroll outside her character's apartment in New York City.
While the interior scenes of the show were filmed on sets in Los Angeles, the exterior shots of Monica's apartment show a location in New York's Greenwich Village, on the corner of Grove and Bedford Streets.
And that's where Cox was jokingly "going home," posting a video of her visit outside Monica's iconic apartment with the perfect caption.
"The One Where My Rent Went Up $12,000."
Aw. But also, pretty true.
So, how much was Monica's rent? CNBC ran the numbers, estimating that the two-bedroom apartment would sit between 1,125 and 1,500 square feet — the news outlet put the average two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan at 975 square feet, which makes Monica's apartment quite spacious — it had a balcony, a huge kitchen, and that glorious sunken living room too, remember?
The show explained in Season 4, episode 4 "The One With The Ballroom Dancing," that Monica enjoyed a cheeky rent-controlled apartment thanks to her grandmother, Althea, who was subletting it illegally for a presumably low amount — explains why Monica can afford that plush apartment with her hard-working chef paycheck.
According to the news outlet, the median rental price for a two-bedroom apartment like Monica's in the West Village is currently $4,500 per month.
It's not the only Friends related throwback Cox has posted to Instagram of late, with this perfect tribute to the show's iconic "PIVOT!" scene.
If Cox posts an Instagram video of herself dancing with a turkey on her head next, we'll collapse.
