A New York Times Notable Book of 2017

Here is New York, as you've never seen it before. A perfectly charming, sidesplittingly funny, intellectually entertaining illustrated history of the blocks, the buildings, and the guts of New York City, based on Julia Wertz's popular illustrated columns in The New Yorker and Harper's.

In Tenements, Towers & Trash, Julia Wertz takes us behind the New York that you think you know. Not the tourist's New York-the Statue of Liberty makes a brief appearance and the Empire State Building not at all-but the guts, the underbelly, of this city that never sleeps. With drawings and comics in her signature style, Wertz regales us with streetscapes "Then and Now" and little-known tales, such as the lost history of Kim's Video, the complicated and unresolved business of Ray's Pizza, the vintage trash and horse bones that litter the shore of Brooklyn's Bottle Beach, the ludicrous pinball prohibition, Staten Island's secret abandoned boatyard, and the hair-raising legend of the infamous abortionist of Fifth Avenue, Madame Restell. From bars, bakeries, and bookstores to food carts, street cleaners, and apartments both cramped and grand, Tenements, Towers & Trash is a wild ride in a time machine taxi from the present day city to bygone days of yore.

Dove retinol
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This retinol is super good. It’s moisturizing and leaves my skin glowing all day. The price for it isn’t bad either.

Best Lotion Ever
This is honestly one of the best lotions I’ve used. The Dove Body Cream Serum leaves my skin feeling super soft, smooth, and hydrated all day without feeling greasy. It really helped improve my rough, dry skin after just a few uses, and the scent is light and clean. Definitely a new favorite!

Yes! Cannot go wrong after hot shower.
They can pump out all the fancy moisturizers and lotions they want - I always come back to the originals. Dove has a brand reputation which never fails. This cream serum is awesome for all over my body after a hot shower (bc it kinda dries out my skin). Face and body, it works. Apply after shower before bed and you have a whole skincare routine. Cannot beat the price for less than $10! This is one of three I bought in this line and each is as good as the next.

“Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair”
Title: “Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair” Review: This Dove body cream feels rich and very moisturizing without being too heavy. It absorbs well into the skin and leaves it soft, smooth, and hydrated for a long time. The pro-ceramide formula helps improve dryness and supports the skin barrier with regular use. It also has a pleasant, light scent that isn’t overpowering. Overall, a great daily body cream for dry or sensitive skin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Smooth and Creamy but…
It’s smooth and light. No oily or sticky residue left on skin. This has absolutely no fragrance so good for sensitive skin. It moisturized through my 9 hours of sleep. I applied directly after my shower. Only con I found- hard to squeeze if you have arthritis.
