A warmup (with lines) for Danny & Coop’s Cheesesteaks on Avenue A

Over the weekend, Danny & Coop's Cheesesteaks had its soft opening at 151 Avenue A between Ninth Street and 10th Street. 

Given the celebrity connection with co-owner Bradley Cooper, recipient of 12 Academy Award nominations, there were bound to be some lines... and there were, stretching back around the corner on 10th Street (thanks to Eden for this photo)...

Danny & Coop's (Danny being Danny DiGiampietro, the owner of Angelo's Pizzeria in South Philadelphia) is reportedly opening full-time next month. 

151 Avenue A was previously Tacos El Porky and its sibling El Primo Red Tacos, which both flamed out quickly. 

There were many positive social media posts about the cheesesteaks (the only item on the menu) from the weekend... including shots of Cooper greeting customers at the door and working in the kitchen...
