Time In New York
Even the city in New York City, the sleepless city has its own rhythm. There is an almost eternal cycle to New York, a perpetual flow, an everlasting grind, time here is a twisted amusement ride.
The Hustle is Eternal
Mythical New Yorkers with a distorted view of time. A work is a resource, you can measure it, you can mine it, you can max it, you can min it. City life is always fast and time is money. The New York minute is a real thing; the green light that is chock full of a million opportunities and a beat that should never be squandered.
The 24 Hour City
As the old proverb goes, New York never sleeps, this is one of the features of the metropolis and there are no 9-hour and 5-hour days here as working hours. The city is always Life Belnon-stop, the open business, open restaurant and open Entertainment. Urban Time — Endless organizational activity that creates a daily routine for the city, one where the boundaries between day and night often tend to blur.
Now, time zone difference and DST
New York city, and most of the Eastern US, is in EST, or Eastern Standard Time (and EDT, or Eastern Daylight Time). This means that when it is 12:00 PM in New York it is 6:00 PM in London and 12:00 AM in Tokyo.
New York has a seasonal clock change, called Daylight Saving Time usually in March and November. Aimed at extending daylight hours, this time shift plays havoc with routines and induces short-term sleep issues for many New Yorkers.
Time and New York Culture
The culture of this city has a lot to do with the love of the city for the time itself. There is always time — in the yellow cab speeding down the street or when the masses of people rush past on the sidewalk. So, that push towards efficiency has cultivated a culture of productivity, ambition and the constant search for success.
So there you have it: time in New York is a wild, untamed beast. Know the city’s time and you will know the city whether Native or a Tourist.
