From the kitchen at Jake’s, chef-owner Bruce Cooper has watched Manayunk evolve from a blue-collar neighborhood to a Main Line hang to a college-kids haven. Now the restaurateur sees the riverfront ’hood attracting young professionals in search of a Center City lifestyle without the million-dollar condos. At new Cooper’s, pinot noir drinkers looking for an every-night dinner spot will find shareable, affordable pies — the menu is light on traditional red-sauce options in favor of combos like short ribs and horseradish, or crimini and ­cheddar — and pretty-big small plates (average price: $10). The menu warns you to save room for dessert — from adjacent Jake’s pastry kitchen — but we ate too many of the house-made salt-and-­vinegar chips.
