Neil Patrick Harris Explained Why He & David Burtka Moved to Harlem

Neil Patrick Harris makes Mayor Bill de Blasio laugh out loud while speaking at the Made in NY Awards Ceremony held at Weylin B. Seymour’s on Monday (November 10) in New York City.

The 41-year-old actor was honored at the ceremony alongside Rosie Perez, Steve Buscemi, Louis C.K. and Jane Raab.

Neil recently spoke about moving to the Harlem area of New York City while making an appearance on Charlie Rose.

“We like the city of Manhattan. We looked at places that were bridges away, but we kind of wanted to be in it, and I think the most bang for you buck financially, Harlem is a pretty good buy,” Neil explained. “Once you have kids, and a family, then we’re looking at a bedroom for us, individual bedrooms for them, a guest room, an office… a 5-bedroom place in Manhattan, that’s not inexpensive. So we looked north and found a good spot.”
