Pen 'n' Coop, located at 601 W 26th St, New York, NY 10001, brings together Italian-inspired street food and the familiar character of a New York delicatessen, with porchetta and rotisserie chicken playing central roles in its offerings. The porchetta is prepared in-house and sliced fresh, providing a rich, juicy, and deeply seasoned option that can be enjoyed in sandwiches, as part of a platter, or even served with salad. For a fuller meal, the porchetta platter pairs the meat with two sides and a sauce, giving diners a chance to build a satisfying lunch around one of the kitchen's signature preparations. Rotisserie chicken is another prominent choice, cooked with careful seasoning and offered in formats suited to both individual meals and sharing. A chicken dinner special has included a whole bird accompanied by two sides and two sauces, making it a substantial option for anyone interested in sampling more of the menu at once. Sandwiches are also an important part of Pen 'n' Coop's identity, particularly for diners seeking something hearty and indulgent during a lunch break. The combination of freshly prepared meats, sauces, and deli-style presentation creates food with bold flavors without making the ordering experience complicated. Service is described as quick and easy, which fits especially well with the restaurant's Chelsea setting and makes it practical for people looking for a flavorful meal without a lengthy wait. Pen 'n' Coop has operated within Olly Olly Market, where its focused approach to porchetta, chicken, sandwiches, platters, and sides gives it a distinct place among the available food options. The generous, decadent nature of some of the sandwiches contrasts with simpler choices such as the porchetta salad, while the selection of sides and sauces allows each order to be adjusted depending on whether someone wants a quick lunch, a meat-focused platter, or a larger chicken meal to share.

Just discover what will be my new frequent lunch spot and they’re serving up slabs of homemade, fresh sliced PORCHETTA and homemade real Rotisserie Chicken! L Pen ‘n’ Coop in the Olly Olly Market in Chelsea describes themselves as the place “Where Italian Street Food Meets New York City Delicatessen” and that tagline could not be more fitting! They have a number of Porchetta and chicken based sandwiches and you know I had to get myself that Porchetta platter with 2 sides and a sauce. I was not disappointed — Seriously this is most delicious piece of meat you’re gonna taste, super flavorful and juicy — they even have a Porchetta salad. I’m gonna return soon for their Chicken dinner special which includes a full bird and 2 sides and 2 sauces for $30 because that chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned, for real!

I am from the Philippines So as soon as I saw the porchetta, I had to try it. The guys who are helping me out there were very nice and pleasant. This area in Chelsea is really cool and a good spot to relax while having your food. It’s like a mini food court. Definitely good food to try.

Cool contemporary food court type of setup here. I must have been in during an off-peak time, as the place was pretty empty with a few patrons eating and some guys shooting pool. The porcheta breakfast sandwich here is a killer - my stomach is still buzzing. Needs a bit of ketchup or spicy aioli souce for perfection. Will run you $15.

Around the way sandwich was delicious, the bread was the perfect blend of crunchy and chewy.

Found this place while dining at another at the Olly Olly market and my friend ordered a Porchetta sandwich so I had to have some and wow sooooo good! I need to go back to try more things.

Best sandwich in the city, incredible but too decadent to eat too often. Praying it’s only temporarily closed or opening up shop elsewhere
