The Reuben sandwich was not invented in New York, but at the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, across the street from our church. The World Herald went on a search for the best Reuben in town, and settled on that at the Crescent Moon, down the street from us, a place we 1st Central folk eat all the time (though I generally don't get their Reuben, I don't like it as well as those I've had in other cities/restaurants, sorry).

At 1st Central we make Reuben sandwiches for the annual meeting every year, not only because the sandwich was created across the street, but to honour our founding pastor, Reuben Gaylord (the sandwich was not named for him).
