NYC's Best Cheesesteak?

Forget the long lines in Philly – New York City now has a taste of the real deal thanks to Danny & Coop’s, a new East Village joint opened by Philly cheesesteak legend Danny DiGiampietro (of Angelo’s fame) and Bradley Cooper. The New Yorker raves about its authenticity, calling it the best cheesesteak in NYC and on par with the best in Philadelphia.

While the cheesesteak itself is top-notch, the experience might not entirely translate. Danny & Coop’s is only open three days a week with unpredictable hours, updates are shared on a sparse Instagram page, there's no seating, and the menu is limited. Still, it's undeniably a taste of Philly in the heart of NYC.
