may picks.

take a break from summer planning to get into the woods, hit the island of cabri and find a power pair with this list of monthly picks:

into the woods.
the newest scent for spring will bring all the boys to the yard with the jo malone kohdo wood collection. packaged as two fragrances, the first (lotus blossom & water lily) is light and floral with notes of madarin and lotus blossom. the second (dark amber & ginger lily) is a seductive small of cardamom and orchid that will have him taking deep breaths of you. 940 broadway. at 23rd. 212.673.2220. www.jomalone.com


island of cabri.
miss the sound of the sizzling oil from barfry? josh dechellis' short-lived resto might be gone, but the spirit of the spot is still alive at cabrito. so long, tempura. hello baby goat, red-chili-braised ribs and pork confit tacos. all served up on warm corn tortillas with plenty of cerveza and tequila on the side. expect outdoor seating, weather permitting. opens mid-may. 50 carmine street. near bedford. 212.929.5050.


conchord grape.
you love them on their HBO show of the same name. now hear and see flight of the conchords live. bret and jemaine take the stage and perform some of their amazing (and quirky) tunes that have made them cult stars. get in line before mel buys up all the tix for this two-night appearance. may 6th and 7th. at the town hall. 123 west 43rd street. near 6th. 212.840.2824. www.hbo.com


hit a peak.
the winter nesting period has done a number on your waistline. skip the juice fast and sign up for a sesh at peak performance. it's a training gym that's no joke. if you get nicole molinari, don't let her petite stature fool you; you'll get a serious workout that involves reverse sit-ups and pushing the plow. your heart rate never had it so intense. 54 west 21st street. between 5th and 6th. 212.229.3670. www.peakperformancenyc.com


power pair.
drs. jody and elie levine met at yale and have been a power couple ever since (with four children, to boot). head to the upper east side to visit their newest baby, the plastic surgery and dermatology of NYC. part doctor's office, part med spa, the couple have created a luxe respite for those looking for everything from a little botox to a lotta lift. expect a spot that's more boutique hotel than surgical center. 35 east 84th street. between madison and park. 212.988.1800. www.plasticsandderm.com


white to go.
that teeth whitening procedure cost a pretty penny, so you want to make it last as long as you can. (and you're not willing to give up your cabernet.) throw iWhite into your bag and whiten your teeth anytime, anywhere. the two-sided maintenance stick has a whitening gel on one end, a wax sealer on the other. just dab-and-go after lunch, before a date or after your fifth cup of coffee. available at CVS stores. www.iwhitesmile.com
