r/lansing

As part of our ongoing Wiki restoration project, we will be posting a daily-ish question to the subreddit to help us gather information and keep the Wiki updated.

Today’s question: What are the best restaurants in Lansing?

This post will be linked on the Wiki for others to reference. When commenting, try to be specific for example: "Go to [Restaurant] for cheap Chinese" or "[Restaurant] for the best Tikka Masala you’ve ever had."

Specific recommendations help others find exactly what they’re looking for!

Hello r/Lansing. There has been a lot of discussion lately regarding some hot topics that can lead to some negative communication, which has lead to us mods locking posts. We hear your complaints regarding stifling dialogue, and censoring posts. We want the community to be able to have productive dialog, while still maintaining some semblance of order. Through the great efforts of u/mizmoose (seriously, thank you) We have implemented a copycat of r/Michigan's "Mitten Mode" If you are unfamiliar, Here is a link to their post announcing it with a detailed explanation. The mechanics are identical to theirs, with one exception: our combined karma limit is 50 (instead of 100) to better reflect the average user stats here in r/Lansing.
This should hopefully allow us mods to maintain control of the bad actors, while allowing you all to dialogue freely and openly. Thank you for your patience with us newer mods :)

My girlfriend lives near Detroit, I'm in GR. So on weeks where we can't spend time together over the weekend, we'll do a date night in lansing. (were both in our 30s)

Typically it's getting some food, then hitting up a book store or something. But Im wondering what you'd suggest for this kinda thing?

We've both talked about going to an arcade, thrifting, cool local shops/book stores/shopping areas, mini golf, local theatres, weird attractions/spooky or odd places. We love books, dnd, games, movies.

Searching on Google comes up with the same generic things of "go to this 5 star restaurant" or "spend a night in the --whatever-- spot" I don't make that kinda money.

Hello!

Does anyone know of dispensaries that sell packs of edibles where the pieces are 5mg rather than 20mg? I've checked on weedmaps and a few dispensary websites, but that isn't an option to filter by.

I just want some low dose gummies, but apparently all the brands want people taking 20mg at a time or more.

Does anyone know of places that offer good line dancing events for people under 21? Specifically in the greater Lansing area. I went to the shuffle tonight and was a bit disappointed in the music selection, and from what I heard, it won’t switch up much. I know I’m basic, but I want to go someplace where I know more than 10 dances. Any recommendations?

does anyone know of any handpoke/stick and poke tattoo artists in the greater lansing area? all of my tattoos so far are handpoked and i kind of want to keep that trend going. i want more tattoos but all the artists i see are from nyc/la/etc!!! even detroit or grand rapids would be doable honestly. just havent heard of or noticed any in michigan; theres gotta be someone!!! thank you in advance :)

Hi, I'm new to the Lansing area. Can anyone share the best thrift stores with the best donations?

TIA

Feel free to show up a literal 20 minutes after the original proposed showtime due to horrendous advertisements and multiple trailers
