Best Answer: New York's timezone is most commonly called Eastern Time or US Eastern Time. The -5 reflects the fact that when Daylight Saving time is not in effect, it is five hours behind UTC or GMT.

The Pacific Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTCâ8). The standard time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 120th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. During daylight saving time, its time offset is UTCâ7 and is thus based on the mean solar time of the 105th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. In the United States and Canada, this time zone is generically called the Pacific Time Zone (PT). Specifically, it uses Pacific Standard Time (PST) when observing standard time (late autumn to early spring), and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) when observing daylight saving time (early spring to late autumn).
