Those looking to buy New York property will never be short of entertainment in the city that never sleeps and one event coming up is the New Yorker Festival in early October.

Held from October 3rd to the 5th, artists, thinkers and performers will gather to inform, entertain and debate.

Hosted by several venues in Manhattan, the festival will have a particularly political theme this year as the presidential election approaches, with much entertaining and feisty verbal joisting to be expected.

This event is just one of many festivals and events that those with a home in New York can enjoy as this multi-cultural and lively metropolis shows off its many faces and demonstrates that however hard it works it also plays.

According to moneyweb.co.za, now is a "good time to invest" in New York, as US interest rates are currently at just two per cent.
