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...

Danny & Coop’s slinging Philly cheesesteaks from 151 Avenue A this weekend

Danny & Coop's will continue to serve Philly cheesesteaks this weekend from 151 Avenue A between Ninth Street and 10th Street. 

Actor-filmmaker Bradley Cooper teamed up with Danny DiGiampietro, the owner of Angelo's Pizzeria in South Philadelphia, for the venture... launching from a food truck last December, first from Sixth Street and Third Avenue. All the proceeds from the truck were reportedly donated to charity. 

The cheesesteak sales from 151 started last night... and will continue with this schedule: 

Saturday, Dec 21 • 3 p.m. til we run out 

Sunday, Dec 22 • 5 p.m. til we run out 

There will likely be some lines for the food. Last evening, Cooper's girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, shared an Instagram Story with her 77 million followers.

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

There's word that Danny & Coop's will become a full-time business at the address.
