Danny & Coop's Cheesesteaks

“This is my favorite cheesesteak in NYC. The meat is a generous portion and melts in your mouth. The meat, cheese, and onions are mixed well so that every bite is exactly the same combinations of flavors. You get creamy cheese, tender meat, soft onions that still have a little bite. The bread is crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, even if you reheat it at home. Uniquely, their bread is also topped with sesame seeds that give the bread a deep, rich, slightly nutty taste. They will offer you spicy or sweet peppers. Either option, cuts the creaminess well and really lifts and lightens the flavors. It is a first-floor store-front, handicap accessible. There are two walls lined with family style high-top bar tables to stand and eat, if you're lucky enough to be there when one is open. Walk-in, place your order, one option - Philly Cheesesteak with onions and cheese, no substitutions or special requests. They will text you when your sandwich is ready (I have waited 7 to 20 minutes, depending on the time of day). I usually eat half in the park across the street and then reheat the other half, wrapped in foil, at home. It is just as good reheated.”

“Danny & Coop's truly makes the best cheesesteak I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. From the moment you open the bag, the smell alone tells you you're about to have something special. I ordered my cheesesteak to go, and even after the walk home it was absolute perfection. My friends and I practically devoured it the second we unwrapped it. The cheese is melted exactly the way you want it--creamy, gooey, and evenly distributed so every bite is rich and satisfying. The steak itself is cooked beautifully: tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right so it stands out without overpowering anything. The bread holds everything together while still being soft and warm, which makes the whole experience even better. What really impressed me is how balanced the cheesesteak is. It's indulgent, comforting, and super filling, but never overly heavy. You can tell they care about quality and consistency in a way that sets them apart from other spots. It's honestly the kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite and go, "Wow." If you're a cheesesteak lover--or even if you think you're not--you need to try Danny & Coop's. It's an instant favorite and absolutely worth the hype.”

“Yes worth the hype! Located in the East Village, this tiny hole in the wall serves the most amazing cheesesteak rolls. They sell one item and do it extremely well. The sesame seeded roll I was surprisingly soft, which prefer, and the combination of onions, cheese sauce and steak, was rich and flavoursome. I'm not a big fan of onions, however this blended in perfectly. You are asked if you would like peppers on the side sweet or hot. I choose sweet and it just cut through the richness of the steak. The side was tiny, would have liked a little more. The store has minimal bench space and there is nowhere to sit. I arrived at opening so the line wasn't crazy, waited 10mins to order received my order in 5 mins. Lucky enough to find a space to eat. I ate half in store and finished the rest in Hompkins Sq Park. Highly recommend.”
