NEW YORK - Like most tourists, Patricio Osuna had a list of “must sees” on his trip to New York City: the Statue of Liberty, Times Square and, surprisingly, a steep flight of steps in an out-of-the-way neighborhood of the Bronx that has become a cult-movie landmark.

The scene captures the moment that the loner Arthur Fleck, played by Joaquin Phoenix, transforms into the Joker as he dances down the steps to Gary Glitter’s anthem “Rock & Roll Part 2,” his hair dyed a menacing green and his face painted like a clown. But since the release of “Joker” two weeks ago, many New Yorkers and out-of-towners traveled there to gawk, take selfies and, in the spirit of the Joker’s choreography, to ham it up.

“I’ve lived around here for 30 years ... people use them every day,” said Harry, as she stood at the top of the steep stairs with her groceries, gazing at the people below. “I’m fascinated, because they made the steps famous.”
