Philly-style cheesesteak perfection, a celeb collab that lives up to the hype. Don't miss this iconic sandwich!
Will Hartman reviews Danny & Coop's, an East Village spot known for its collaboration with Bradley Cooper, praising its "Apex cheesesteaks" as a must-try.
Danny & Coop's is a highly acclaimed cheesesteak joint, a collaboration between Angelo's Pizzeria of Philadelphia and actor Bradley Cooper. While not a traditional restaurant with a diverse menu, it focuses solely on delivering an authentic, top-tier cheesesteak experience that rivals the best in Philadelphia. Reviews consistently praise the quality of ingredients and the execution of the sandwich, making it a must-visit for cheesesteak enthusiasts.
The restaurant exclusively serves cheesesteaks, with many reviewers hailing it as one of the best in NYC and even comparable to top Philadelphia spots. The sandwich features thinly sliced ribeye, Cooper Sharp cheese, and jammy onions on a sesame seed roll. While most are ecstatic, a few find it lacks cheese, the meat is tough, or the roll is not to their liking. The addition of sweet or hot peppers is highly recommended.
"The sole menu item, the Cheesesteak, is universally recommended. Customers specifically suggest adding sweet or hot peppers to enhance the flavor. It's often described as a generous portion, sometimes large enough to share."
Customers overwhelmingly praise the cheesesteak as one of the best they've ever had, often comparing it favorably to authentic Philadelphia versions. While some find the price high, most agree the quality justifies the cost.
Important Note
Some customers find the sandwich to be on the smaller side compared to other cheesesteaks, and a few have noted issues with the meat being tough or dry, or the bread being less than ideal. The restaurant's focus on a single item means there are limited customization options.
