夏天

眼看着七月也要结束了,天气依然很热,二十四节气里的大暑也过去了,奥运快来了,夏天也许会随着奥运悄悄地结束,也许在你的心里,感觉不到一丁点儿的征兆。

来过NLGX的朋友们最喜欢这里的哪个位置呢?

你知道,我们只有8张桌子。

我最喜欢的是,一楼临街的那张小桌子,不论是中午、下午还是傍晚或者深夜,坐在那儿发发呆,随意的想点什么心事,或者干脆什么都不想,望着窗外的什么发呆,你的心里会非常的安静,安静到有点也许不像平时的你自己,安静得想把自己变成空气,融入那时那刻和那片带不走的风景里。

南锣鼓巷的生活气息和幽默

南锣鼓巷就生活在北京的“根儿”文化中。
早已名声在外的南锣鼓巷,旁人看来,几乎算得上是一条安静得让我们惊讶的小街了。街上的游人以外国人居多,天空中偶尔有鸽子飞过,留下一长串鸽哨的声音。
这里的每一家店都开在临街的老房子里,那些看上去也许不起眼的房子,没准儿就有着曾经极不寻常的过往。在前年夏天被翻修一新的南锣鼓巷,入冬后便呈现出整齐干净的面容。每一家小店都那么低调地存在着,即使是最为夸张的红也极力暗淡着,默默地和小巷遥相呼应,甚至很难分辨出它们出现的年代。这是一条很特殊的巷子,生在浮华的境地,却能自然地静默着,散发的恰恰是致命的吸引。小巷的一切都迟缓得让人觉得舒适,但它既不是后海酒吧街也不是烟袋斜街,它没有刻意地自我塑造着自己的格调。这一切就是生活气息吧。
