This Old Town spot has been open since the 1950s. It's got all the charm of a ice cream stand that's lasted almost 70 years. It's just simple soft serve, but its the *best* soft serve. It's like peeking into the past.

For authentic Chinese cuisine, this is the place. Their food is excellent! Plus, this spot is the ideal place to dine as group. They prepare group plates for sharing.
While the place lacks luster when we first drive up, do not let this dissuade you. The food compensates for the locale.

Drinks & Nightlife
Harry's is a place where you will immediately be welcomed in as if you were a regular and treated to great food.
Harry's first opened in 1921 by Bates' grandfather, and the bar's namesake, Harry Andros. Bates' father, Art Arvanites, took over the bar in 1965 and ran it until 2009 when his daughter and her husband, Hugh Bates, took it over. It use to sit in the shadows of the General Motors Fisher Body Plant before it closed in 2005. Before Harry's "reinvented" itself, it almost closed too, but now, it's considered one Lansing's best pubs.
It doesn't get more local.
