Dish#61 Village Voice blog loves the #12 Sept 2010

Hey Now! The Village Voice food blog, dish#61 loves the #12 black bean hummus, artichichoke, sun dries tomato sandwich. They say: "what makes the No. 12 so memorable is the black bean hummus, which adds earthy depth to the tang of the 'chokes, softens the salinity of the tomatoes, and cuts through the gloriously fatty morass of the cheese."

9/30/10 On Sandwiches blog loves the #38

Great write up from On Sandwiches Blog. They say: "Everything you need to know is right in the name. 195 is the street number of the original Brooklyn location, but it’s the other bit that interests me. Press is so named due to the centerpiece and vast majority of the menu being pressed sandwiches. Indeed, sandwiches get top billing with the restaurant;the bar offerings follow second. Press has a fine beer list, and in terms of non-sandwich items their Belgian fries really are outstanding, but personally I wouldn’t give a tenth of a fig if the sandwiches weren’t good. Well friends, I am happy to say that they are more than good. Press has forty hot sandwiches on offer, plus another half-dozen cold ones. The cold come on toasted Italian bread, while the hot come on an outstanding ciabatta bread. It’s got a wonderful crunch to it and yields perfectly to whatever it holds.

10/15/10 Seriouseats.com loves the #13 sandwich

Via Seriouseats.com... "The #13 Hot Press ($8) at Park Slope's Press 195 is a simple enough caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil—simple, but there's nothing wrong with simple. The brittle outside crust and melted mozzarella make it every inch a joy..."

Hey Now! Great write up in Yahoo! yesterday. We were named top 5 places to eat along the NYC marathon route. They said: "Press 195 sits at about mile five of the Marathon. This restaurant is a favorite for sandwiches with the native New Yorkers.

Press 195 has a wine bar, opens at 11:30 a.m. daily and does not take reservation. New Yorkers known where the real good food is and this place is one of them!"

"As you can see by the above picture, the sure do make some good looking Belgian fries. I mean, if I were at a bar and saw those fries, I'd do a shot, walk up to the bar, order the fries a drink and do my best to get their number. I'd probably strike out, but hell, just telling my buddies that I tried with something that hot and failed, now that would be a great story."

It’s been awhile since our last correspondence and much has been going on in the Press 195 camp. First and foremost, the biggest news to date is the unveiling of store 3! Yes, we are excited to announce that very shortly the doors to our third Press 195 location will be opening in Rockville Centre, Long Island!! We are very excited to venture out East and rock the Long Island world with what will soon to become the best place on the island to grab a sandwich. We are hoping for a mid-fall opening and will keep everybody in the loop thru email or Facebook fan page updates.

In other news, we just finished filming an episode of Food Paradise, a Chinese-English food travel show that will air December 11, 2010 on the NTD TV Network. The NTD is the largest Chinese-English network across the world, received by 200 million households. In the NYC area the channel can be found on Time Warner 589.

Store wise, our great summer continues as there is nothing finer than sitting in one of our backyards with a great sandwich and a fine microbrew. Over in the Bayside store, we have had much success with the limited releases, Southampton Keller Pils and Coney Island Luna Lager. Both beers have been in great demand and have proved worthy additions to the tap lines. The Park Slope taps currently feature the almighty Lagunitas IPA and upstate NY’s favorite Ommegang Witte among others. C’mon down and try one, and if uncertain always feel free to ask for a sample!

Well we hope you enjoy the remaining weeks of the summer and hope the great weather continues. We look forward to your next visit to our Bayside or Park Slope store and are excited to continue to update you on the forthcoming Rockville Centre store grand opening.

Warm regards,

Blogs love us....via Love, Life and Lollipops on April 8 2010

I think everyone in Brooklyn has a blog, which is great if we keep getting these awesome reviews. Via the very original blog "Love, life and lollipops" from April 8, 2010 comes a short, great review of our Brooklyn location. The author writes, "I ordered a veggie knish (sans the mozzerella which I firmly believe doesn’t need it for vegans or others). It’s a square knish cut in half and filled with roasted veggies then closed up and pressed between a panini press! Yum!"

The Famous New York Magazine's daily food digest, Grubstreet Daily, featured Press 195 and Crossroads Brewing company. The article stated "With camera-toting bloggers and an ever-churning gossip mill, it’s rare that any morsel of fresh intelligence isn’t instantly chewed up and spat onto the Internet. But unless you frequent Park Slope sandwich shop Press 195, you likely missed the recent unveiling of New York State’s newest brewery."
