Urban Feast Opens New Restaurant, Edmund’s Pastime, in Downtown Lansing

Edmund’s Pastime is a new casual-dining restaurant located at 101 S. Washington Square in Downtown Lansing

Looking to fill this niche near Lansing’s Capitol, Urban Feast — the management company that also owns the Downtown restaurants Troppo and Tavern on The Square — opened the new location.

Edmund’s "is a great place that meets the needs of many within the Lansing demographic,” says Josh French, manager of Edmund’s. “Though it’s simple food, it’s very good food, and we do all our soups from scratch.”

Edmund’s is a “come as you are” combination restaurant: a family-friendly space that’s part restaurant, part diner and part sports bar, with 15 televisions.

“The restaurant has a 'mom and pop' feel, but can accommodate larger parties. There’s a pool table in the back, and we even have board games” adds French. "This is just a 'cater to everyone' kind of place."

The space seats 150 people, with standing room for more.
