So apparently all the cool landmarks in the Bronx are on or near really long, steep staircases. TBPOHH is just a normal looking apartment building next to a handful of bridges leading to Manhattan.,

It was an awesome experience. Everyone should experience old school music. This generation will never understand how cool the music was.
