About This Conversion
When it's 9:00 PM in cities like Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Mexico City (Central Time), it's 10:00 PM in New York, Miami, Atlanta, and Toronto (Eastern Time). The Central Standard Time zone (UTC-6) is always exactly 1 hour behind Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5). This 1-hour difference remains constant year-round, even when both zones switch to daylight saving time (CDT to EDT) between March and November.
