NYC Apartments Featured in Prime-Time TV Often Beyond Means of Characters
CBS Marketwatch published an analysis of the estimated cost of the apartments that some television characters inhabit in shows such as Friends and Sex in the City. According to the article: "Monica and Chandler come the closest to reality, living in her grandmother's rent-controlled, two-bedroom walk-up. But struggling actor Joey is way out his element in his two-bedroom Greenwich Village unit across the hall, where real-life rent payments would be about $4,000 a month."
