History
Stuck in standstill traffic trying to get to Greenwich, Connecticut, Richie Finestra redirects Leo to his apartment in the Village. They pass through a neighborhood in the Bronx and Richie tells Leo to pull over when he hears a guy spinning two records for an impromptu dance party outside of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue. His investigation is cut short when a pimp sticks a gun in the window and questions Richie's presence in the neighborhood. Another man, Lester Grimes, recognizes Richie, and while the two don't acknowledge their history, the man gets the pimp to let Richie and Leo go unharmed.
