History
Brian Karp (chef/owner) and Chris Evans (director/owner) are two neighborhood guys who always had a passion for comfort food. After several years of toiling in the corporate world -- and several late-night brainstorming sessions over too much coffee and beer - they decided to return to their restaurant roots. Press 195 was born.

Brian got his first taste of the insanity and excitement of a bustling kitchen at the tender age of 14. A seed was planted. He has come a long way from experimenting with food combinations in his mother's toaster. After professionally cooking in Buffalo and New York City, he is excited to showcase his simple and creative cooking sense with his love of fresh, Hudson Valley ingredients.

Chris is a savvy business owner and entrepreneur. He met Brian at college in Buffalo, where they bonded over an affinity for good music and good food. His sunny people skills and creative business spirit resulted in a profitable sporting goods retail store. He also successfully coached a competitive Division 1 soccer team for several years. Chris is known for whipping up a spontaneous feast for a large group of friends.

Both Chris and Brian possess easy-going demeanors and curious appetites. Their dream restaurant always centered on a laid-back environment with simple, comfort foods. Welcome to Press 195. Stop in, grab a bite, kick back, relax…
