"Also along 101 North, just before San Rafael, is Marin Country Mart. The suburban shopping center is home to some really great food spots, like Hog Island Oyster Co. and Johnny Doughnuts, plus shops in case you realize you forgot to pack a toothbrush or a light jacket. Grab a bowl of clam chowder and enjoy it with bay views (this spot is right next to the water near the Larkspur Ferry Terminal). Then take a quick bathroom break and hit the road again." - julia chen 1
