Current time in new york city right now

I'm happy to help! However, I'm a large language model, I don't have real-time access to current information. But I can suggest a few ways for you to find the current time in New York City:

1. Check a reliable online clock: You can visit a website like WorldTimeBuddy or TimeAndDate to get the current time in New York City.
2. Use a time zone converter: You can use a time zone converter like WorldTimeServer or TimeAndDate to convert the current time in your location to New York City time.
3. Check your phone or computer: If you have a phone or computer with a clock, you can check the current time in New York City by setting your device to Eastern Standard Time (EST) or Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), depending on the time of year.

As of my knowledge cutoff, New York City is in the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone, which is UTC-5 hours. However, please note that the city observes daylight saving time, so during the summer months, it is in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4 hours.
