October 2005: New Sandwich Shop Coming To Bell Blvd.






October 2005 The excitement is building in the Bayside area and the local paper, TimesLedger, features Press 195 in a major article discussing the opening, our roots, and much more. Read below an excerpt and click here for the full article.


Baysiders can't blink these days without another restaurant opening on Bell Boulevard, it seems. But later this month, the trio behind the successful Brooklyn sandwich bar Press 195 hopes to catch the eyes of Queens diners with a new location at 40-11 Bell Blvd. Chef Brian Karp and manager Chris Evans, a Bayside native, said they decided to expand their successful Park Slope operation to what is fast becoming Queens's "restaurant row" because their pressed sandwich formula can offer diners something different."We're unique here," Karp said, citing the planned array of micro brews, vegetarian items and organic bread from Manhattan's gourmet Sullivan Street Bakery. "There's no place on Bell Boulevard where you're going to get a pressed knish sandwich."
