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.

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, $8.50; grilled veggie sandwich, $8
