lodging
incentra village house, expensive, (212) 206-0007. at this former greenwich village town house (which dates back to 1841), each of the 13 rooms has a different theme. the tranquil india room, for instance, is decked out with buddhas. with our brood, though, we prefer the bishop suite, which is a little larger.
