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."-- cover page 4. 650 4 $a Graphic novel. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Buildings, structures, etc. $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x History $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Business enterprises $z New York $z New York $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Pictorial works. 600 10 $a Wertz, Julia. 941 $a 8 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909044733.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060442.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200414013223.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023719.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180918010546.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180103011907.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20171104011301.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170930010113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DE76ECEA5A411E7A2B7C20597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
