1 WATCH: It’s a good week for quirky fare
From Boots Riley’s “I’m a Virgo” to Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” there’s no shortage of eccentric stuff to watch on the big and small screen this weekend.

The legendary historic 1896 roadhouse near Los Gatos has reopened under new ownership, and of course we just had to check it out.
3 SEE & HEAR: Summer concert season is here
The terrific singer-songwriter (and actor) Jill Scott is playing at the Concord Pavilion this weekend. It seems as good a metaphorical opening as any to the summer concert season, which is running full steam this year.
4 BAKE & EAT: Your personal slice of heaven
Author and baker Stacey Mei Yan Fong is crazy about pies — of all kinds — and America. Her new book “50 Pies, 50 States” is a love letter to both — and serves up an amazing collection of recipes. And you know what goes great with a patriotic pie? George and Martha Washington’s favorite ice cream.

From a new exhibit devoted to Disney films’ favorite cats and dogs to Kronos Quartet’s annual music festival, there are a lot of great shows to see this weekend and beyond.
