Chapter XV
ANDY'S OPPOSITE NEIGHBOR. Andy walked about the city, using his eyes industriously. At one o'clock he went into a restaurant on Park Row, where he got a fair lunch for twenty-five cents. This was more than he intended to pay usually, but on this first day in the city he did not care to go back to the boarding house. After lunch he made his way to the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge, and got into one of the cars.
