Commuters stood cheek-to-jowl on the subway platform during rush hour.

Shoppers stood cheek to jowl in the crowded market.

The cheek-to-jowl market stalls left barely any room to walk between them.

A cheek to jowl crowd packed the tiny theater for the premiere.

In the old district, cheek-by-jowl cafés and bookstores spill warm light onto the narrow street.

At the concert, fans were packed cheek-by-jowl against the stage, cheering loudly.

On the busy subway the commuters stood cheek by jowl, holding onto the overhead straps.

The apartment buildings were cheek by jowl, with barely a gap between them.
