Neil Patrick Harris: NYC will be good for my kids


Neil Patrick Harris thinks moving to New York City will help his children’s education.

The ‘How I Met Your Mother’ star and his fiancé David Burtka are relocating from Los Angeles to the East coast, and although the weather isn’t as nice, he believes the move will ultimately be better for their three-year-old twins, Gideon and Harper.

Neil told Life and Style magazine: "When we’re lugging two children through the snow and sleet and wind, I don’t know whether we’ll enjoy it so much. But I think the kids’ eyes will be open to a lot of things that I wouldn’t have thought to show them in Los Angeles."

Neil and David recently bought a $3.6 million, 8,000-square-foot townhouse in Harlem, which boasts four bedrooms, two terraces, a backyard and rooftop, as well as a duplex apartment underneath which they are expected to incorporate into their new home.

Neil, 40, is also hopeful David will be inspired to resume his acting career and join him in performing on Broadway.

He added: "We’re very excited. David’s done a lot of theatre, and then I sort of uprooted him to Los Angeles. I’m anxious for him to get to work more."
