Profile

Now that the panini trend has reached critical mass, with tiny electric kitchens dispensing crispy grilled and pressed sandwiches everywhere from Wall Street to the Bronx, it's hard to stand out from the pack. Which is why Chris Evans, co-owner of Park Slope's Press 195, reveals that he and partner Brian Karp are "staying away from panini." That's not to say they're boycotting Italy at their sunny sandwich-and-wine bar—only that they're also offering offbeat alternatives, like marinated spicy grilled chicken cutlet with blue cheese and carrots, and roast pork with monterey jack and pickled jalapeños. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Note

For a $20 minimum order, delivery is available past Flatbush Ave. to Underhill Ave., and past 9th St. to as far as 18th St.

Recommended Dishes

Cuban sandwich, $9; grilled veggie sandwich, $8.50

These guys almost killed me when they closed for four months earlier this year- where was I to do brunch now??? But I have to say, they fixed everything I didn't like about them and a great spot is now a fabulous spot. Same great sandwiches, but they also offer burgers, belgium fries, and a fully stocked bar. They take credit cards, they are open before noon and serve late into the weekends. I'd happily go there on a casual date, alone with a book, for a business meeting, all in all, I could find an excuse to be here almost any day of the week. Great outdoor patio too!

The first and the best

I always wanted a place like this in the slope. Now, years later, I am happy to say they are still the best. Great salads, great soups. I've got the menu memorized--so should you, cause sometimes the lunchtime mommy crowd gets a bit intense.
