It’s no secret, Philadelphia is home to one of the world’s best, most unique sandwiches– the cheesesteak! While some Hollywood stars just can’t see to figure out exactly what the cheesesteak is, Bradley Cooper isn’t one of them. In fact, the Maestro star is taking the Philly vibes to NYC. Allegedly, he will be opening up a new cheesesteak hotspot in New York City’s East Village in 2025.
Bradley Cooper: Danny & Coop’s
The Montgomery County native, isn’t shy about his love of all things Philly. Cooper is a die-hard Eagles fan, even dressing as Swoop for an NFL promo. His film, Silver Linings Playbook, in which he plays an Eagles fan, was filmed parts of Philly. From sports to Philanthropy, Cooper is immersed in the city’s culture and vibes and now he’s bringing them to NYC.
Specifically, Cooper is joining forces with Danny DiGiampietro, the owner of Angelo’s Pizzeria in South Philly, to bring a cheesesteak hotspot to NYC in 2025. Luckily for New Yorkers, Angelo’s Pizzeria is undoubtedly one of the best places in Philly to get the beloved sandwich.
Remember when the A-list superstar previously teamed up with DiGiampietro for a cheesesteak pop-up truck in the Big Apple, dishing out deliciousness for charity? Well, of course, the next big move is to open a brick-and-mortar location! Because who wouldn’t want their cheesesteaks served with a side of fabulousness?
Then last December, the duo hosted a preliminary debut of Danny & Coop’s ahead of its grand opening in 2025. Indeed, the cheesesteak soft opening was a hit, with lines of hungry patrons anticipating a taste of Philly’s signature dish.
According to Eater, Danny & Coop’s will be located at 151 Avenue A, at East 10th Street in New York City. Patrons can get a taste of what makes our city so special by ordering a true foot-long cheesesteak featuring Cooper sharp and onions.
While reports suggest DiGiampietro and his family will mostly be running the new spot, it is something new for Cooper. The 12-time Oscar nominee, made a career shift from the big screen to the culinary world in 2023.
A grand opening date for Danny & Coop’s has yet to be revealed.
New York- get ready for a taste of Philly!
