Danny & Coop's
Dining · 1 location · Manhattan: East Village
Bradley Cooper's cheesesteak shop looks like a celebrity cash-grab, but it's a single East Village counter, self-funded and co-owned with Philly restaurateur Danny DiGiampietro, who says Cooper is genuinely hands-on. No investors, no franchising.
The Big Picture
Danny & Coop's is a single East Village cheesesteak counter, self-funded and co-owned by Bradley Cooper and Philadelphia restaurateur Danny DiGiampietro, with no outside investors and no franchising. As a shop that's been open since January 2025, it has little public labor or environmental track record to date — nothing negative has surfaced, but there also isn't much yet to weigh. It answers to its two owners, not investors or a corporate parent.
