If you find yourself in NYU Central but aren’t game for a round of beer pong or naked Photohunt, slip into the Village Lantern, a spacious low-key alternative that has plenty to offer. Though they serve food, the main attraction is the martini menu, each named for one of the seven deadly sins. Who knows, after a few sips, you might just slip into their downstairs lounge and try a few of those sins out.
