Coffee Shops Are a Way to Start, Spend, and End Your Day
Considering as how Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe all spend pretty much their whole day in Central Perk despite having jobs and kids, we can safely assume that coffee was the glue that brought them all together. Coffee and good conversation. I wish I could spend 47% of my day at a coffee shop with my friends!

Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover
This goes for a few moments in the show, including the short and eccentric stripper, Phoebe’s gay ex-husband and ice skater, and Monica and Chandler ending up together. The point? That you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Sometimes people will surprise you! In the stripper’s case, he may have seemed like the wrong choice at first, but he ended up being quite endearing.
