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. It has been open since January 2025, so there is little public labor or environmental record either way. It answers to its two owners, not investors or a corporate parent.
