1 WATCH: Pixar breaks new ground (again)
The Emeryville studio’s latest release “Win or Lose” has all the trademarks of a Pixar movie — except it isn’t a movie. But fear not, animation fans, it is still a first-rate production.
2 DINE: Check out a Yelp Top 100 restaurant
The crowdsourcing site just posted its roundup of the best 100 places to dine in the U.S., and of course some Bay Area restaurants made the list.
3 SEE & HEAR: A groundbreaking new play
The theater world is buzzing about “Froggy,” the new play in Walnut Creek that incorporates video game elements and has the feel of a graphic novel. Meanwhile, there are a ton of other great shows and concerts to catch this weekend.
4 COOK & DEVOUR: Radicchio magic
Radicchio has come a long way to become a darling in the foodie world. Here’s what you need to know about it (including some killer recipes).
5 PLAY: Perfect Pinnacles excursion
It can get a little chilly in the morning and at night, but Pinnacles National Park and its otherworldly views makes for a terrific winter getaway.
6 WATCH: “The Monkey” bears good news
Let’s face it, when it comes to film and TV adaptations of Stephen King’s rich catalogue, there are some real gems (“The Shining”) and some real clunkers (“Dreamcatcher,” anyone?). Fortunately, “The Monkey,” opening this week, is one of the good ones.
7 SIP & PLAY: San Ramon beer trip
The Contra Costa community may not be the most famous destination for beer lovers, but it does have one of only two golf courses in the U.S. with a brewery on site. Anyone wise enough to merge golf with the beer-brewing arts is aces in our book.
