Main Street in Ethan

We travel to Ethan every Thursday because the small restaurant downtown, called "The Cook's Inn," has an Indian Taco Special for $4.00 starting at about 5:30 pm till 9pm, and it sure is good. It is worth the trip. An Indian Taco is Indian Fry Bread with the taco ingredients on top. Yum Yum. We had never heard of Indian Tacos until we moved to South Dakota.

View of the sunset

When we left the restaurant, we were just in time for a beautiful fall sunset.

Comments about Ethan

March 27, 2008 from Amy Moe
We were doing some research on Tripp and found your site. We live in Ethan, and so I looked at that page as well. I just wanted to give you some info in case you were curious. The building with the blue trim next to Cook's Inn used to be a grocery store many years ago, and now someone lives there. The building with the belly dancers on the side used to be a bar/saloon, called The Blue Oasis. Your site(s) are very nice and the pictures are beautiful. I love that you took a picture of your Indian taco at the Cook's Inn! My husband and I run a local newspaper in Ethan now called The Ethan Voice. www.ethanvoice.com Thanks so much!
