iPod Socks

1. iPOD SOCKS These colorful, clingy socks keep any size iPod toasty on brutally chilly nights. Sure, they cost $29 for a box of six, but if your iPod is your best friend, doesn't she deserve the comfort of a stylish pink sock?

2. "THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU" SOUNDTRACK Who knew that David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust-era catalog could translate so beautifully into Portuguese torch songs? Seu Jorge softly croons "Rebel, Rebel" and "Starman" with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a voice like softened butter.

3. GARLIC NAAN AT TANTRIC The Theatre District restaurant has perfected these doughy pillows of Indian bread. They're softer than any other naan you've ever consumed and far less greasy. Just make sure to keep a tin of breath mints handy.

4. MARY LOUISE WILSON IN "THE RIVALS" As the grammatically-challenged Mrs. Malaprop, Wilson steals her scenes thanks to a series of priceless facial expressions and a gigantic pink beehive wig that looks like three feet of cotton candy stuck to her head. The show runs at the Huntington Theatre through Feb. 6.
