Cutscene

Vinnie	This is our big chance, Mike. We've almost got enough money to leave Liberty City for good. I'm tired of playing errand boy. We need to strike off on our own and lead the good life.
Mike	I've got your back, Vinnie. You got me off the streets and back on my feet.
Vinnie	I knew I could count on you. We don't owe nobody nothing and the police aren't on to us. It's time to make a new start.

After the cutscene you'll appear on foot in Chinatown alongside Vinnie. The game will explain the basic controls, like using the d-pad to control Mike, and tell to you and tell you to follow Vinnie to the car, which is parked to the North.

As you approach the car, another cutscene will be displayed.

Cutscene

Vinnie	Hey Mike, you drive. I gotta get my head together for this meeting with the Mafia.
Mike	Vinnie, I thought you said we were done with these crooks. Let's just take our chances with the money we've got and make our break.
Vinnie	Hey, you trust me right? I've got information they need. Support me on this, and we'll be a whole lot richer and off this stinkin' island in no time.

The game will then explain more controls, such as pressing the L button to get in and out of a vehicle.

Cutscene

Vinnie	The restaurant is in Portland Beach. Should be real easy to spot, too.

You'll then be told about the User Interface of the game, with the radar in the top left and the pink dot representing your destination. You're also told you can press A to accelerate, d-pad down to brake (B also works as the brake) and hold the B button to reverse. The R button is used for the handbrake and pressing d-pad up + R together will activate the horn.

Make your way across the map to the East and then North to the restaurant.

Once there you're told you drive into the blue square to trigger the mission. Unlike some other GTA games, simply driving through the square won't trigger the mission, you have to physically come to a stop inside it.

Cutscene

Vinnie	Check our hideout to make sure it's not being watched. Nothing's wrong but you can never be too sure with these guys. Come back to the restaurant and pick me up when you know it's clear.

Mike will be told to drive to the hideout, which is marked on the radar as a pink house icon, so make your way to the North and then West until you find it tucked down a tight alley.

Cutscene

Mike	Things look good out front, I'd better check inside.

You'll then be told to walk into the blue circle to complete the mission.

Mission Passed!

After the mission complete screen, the game will inform you that you can save your progress at the hideout between missions, and then will show the hideout menu.

You can take the opportunity to save the game and browse your hideout items. Although there's nothing there yet, this is where you'll go to collect weapons, health, armor and police bribes you'll unlock through various side missions.

Immediately after completing a mission, you'll usually receive a pager message from a contact explaining some context towards the next job. This time, it's Vinnie telling you to go back to the restaurant because he needs you to track someone down.

You're then told you can head to the letter 'V' on the radar to find the restaurant.
