Food Scene
Rulli for espresso and pastries, Donut shop is in the alley across the way. Laconda Marin is my favorite restaurant. Great food, Italian! Picco is also fantastic. Personally I'm not wild about the food at Perry's, but the environment is really nice. The Left Bank is very good too!

This is my favorite casual place to eat in Marin, because you can sit outside with a view of the bay on a private beach and the food is very nice.

If you are a fan of the Grateful Dead, you have to check this out. Even if you are not, the bar always has free, live music and it's a lovely place to hang out. I'm not crazy about the food/restaurant part of the place, but the bar is fun.
