Is this the “hero” we deserve?
New York may no longer be just the city of bagels and elephant ear-sized pizza slices. While Philadelphia is known as the mecca for cheesesteaks, the Big Apple is on a roll with authentic offerings thanks to some City of Brotherly Love whizzes opening up shop here.
The latest import is Danny & Coop’s, which drew 90-minute lines around the East Village block during a surprise second weekend opening last Saturday.
“It’s a good cheesesteak, I waited about an hour and a half and I think it was worth it,” satisfied customer Richie Sunden told The Post.
From Danny DiGiampietro of Angelo’s in Philly fame and movie star and Whiz-blooded native Philadelphian Bradley Cooper, the joint venture was teased in 2023 as a food truck pop-up, before the first buzzy soft-opening in December.
Cooper, 50, was even seen slinging steaks during the last two outings, donning an apron and serving their foot-long beef and cheese torpedo to throngs of cheeseheads.
