Where is 917 area code located?

Area code 917 covers all 5 boroughs of New York, NY City, ie. Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.

It also covers some famous spots like Yankee Stadium and Prospect Park. If we had to get a little more geographical, then 917 spans five counties:

• Kings (Brooklyn)
• Queens
• New York (Manhattan)
• Bronx
• Richmond

The 917 area code was introduced in 1992 as an overlay for Manhattan in New York City, giving the area a nice new recognizable code to keep up with demand. A little something to remember – 917 is used across all these boroughs, but Manhattan also has a few other area codes.

917 area code time zone

The 917 area code observes the Eastern Time Zone (ET).

When daylight saving time isn’t in effect, its UTC-5. During daylight saving time, it switches to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) which is UTC-4.
