Is it am or pm in new york 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 out the current time in New York:

1. Check a reliable online clock or time zone converter website, such as WorldTimeBuddy or TimeAndDate.
2. Use a smartphone app that shows the current time in different locations, such as Google Maps or Apple Maps.
3. Check the official website of a New York-based news organization or government agency, such as the New York Times or the City of New York's website.

As of my knowledge cutoff, New York is in the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone, which is UTC-5 hours during standard time and UTC-4 hours during daylight saving time. However, please note that daylight saving time (DST) rules can change, so it's always a good idea to double-check the current time zone and DST status.
