It is highly debatable that a Reuben is open-faced. That's a faily common twist on the old standard, but a Reuben in true Jewish tradition can have 2 slices of bread.
Anyway, MAME's is a 10-year tradition for myself and my wife. Reliably good and a lovely atmosphere especially in the front rooms. |

The origins of the Reuben are disputed.[2] One account holds that Reuben Kulakofsky (sometimes spelled Reubin, or the last name shortened to Kay), a grocer from Omaha, Nebraska, was the inventor, perhaps as part of a group effort by members of Kulakofsky's weekly poker game held in the Blackstone Hotel from around 1920 through 1935. The participants, who nicknamed themselves "the committee," included the hotel's owner, Charles Schimmel. The sandwich first gained local fame when Schimmel put it on the Blackstone's lunch menu. Other accounts hold that its creator was Arthur Reuben, owner of the once famous but now no longer existing Reuben's Delicatessen in New York,[3] who, according to an interview with Craig Claiborne, invented the sandwich around 1914.[4]
All I know is that Rein's Deli in Connecticut makes it better than anyone else, plus any other deli sandwich you can think of. And that's the fact Jack! ![]() |

Pineedles, you are correct, Rein's deli in CT makes great sandwiches. Every time wife & I travel back to NJ we make a stop there. Their brisket sandwich is the best I have ever had. Alway get it with horseradish & mustard. And, of course, the free pickles they give you almost as soon as your seated.
A must if you are travelling on 84 in Vernon. Exit 65. Been going there for years. Gunner |

We have been looking for a good stopping point on interstate 84 on the jersey route. We've had enough of thel book traveler in Union. How far from the exit is this Deli and is it well marked?

We stop at Rein's when returning from NJ and the Exit is marked 64-65. At the top of the ramp we bear right onto Exit 65 and continue to the right (easterly?) about a mile. At the fourth set of lights, turn left into a strip mall and Rein's Deli is facing you. It is very popular but even when quite busy one is able to get seat quickly.

We were making plans today to get together with friends this evening. We hadn't been to Mame's for several years. We just never think of it. Today I did and all 4 of us are glad I did. The food was very good. One order of prime rib, one of prime rib and baked stuffed shrimp and 2 orders of the seafood sampler. Not one complaint. The service couldn't have been better. We had a wonderful meal and plan to go back more often.

1. Mames is a great spot for dinner if you happen to be in the Meredith area for dinner. Seek it out and find it. Worth the effort...and located in a great spot. Cross the street over toward the Meredith town docks after you eat, and you have a great place to take a walk. By the way. If it is early (breakfast) go next door to George's instead. Another great spot. 2. Pineedles...I always thought the Reuben was named after "Reuben Sierra". Are sure your facts are straight? He really was a decent outfielder. |

Going south to NJ it's quite easy to find. Exit 65 to top of ramp & make right. Make left at next set of lights (1/4 mile) which are at strip mall & Rein's is straight ahead. Menu is huge & of course they have Deli section where you can order for takeout.
If you are over 65, as we are, they have a basket full of sliced rye & pumpernickle bread "ends" (several slices of bread too small for sandwiches) which are free for the taking. We always take 1 or 2 packages with us. Gunner |

I don't comment on former Yankee players. As you should know.
