Being a greasy spoon connoisseur, I am always looking for a good breakfast. I am afraid Lansing has been without one ever since Shaws Triangle shut down when 69 got finished...

Bringing your family, you might try Clara's. It's a decent restaurant and I think they still serve breakfast... Though I have not been there in years. It's an old train station w/ RR motif. Kids always enjoyed it. Not too far from the Swap, and you drive Preuss's on the way!
