According to a report by CNN, the staircase connecting the Shakespeare and Anderson avenues at West 167th Street has become a popular tourist destination ever since the movie 'Joker' hit cinemas earlier this month.
In the movie, the Joker, played by the super talented Joaquin Phoenix, dances down the staircase with Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" playing in the background.
The spot has become so crowded, in fact, US comedian Desus Nice jokingly suggested that Bronx residents should charge tourists a fee for visiting the staircase.
