The 212 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 212 is exclusively tied to New York City, located at the heart of Manhattan. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Manhattan – the bustling heart of the city
New York City – the vibrant, diverse metropolis
The Bronx – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 212 has represented New York pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all boroughs.
The 212 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as New York City. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 212 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 212 area code covers all of New York City, including:
Manhattan
New York City
The Bronx
and many more.
Getting a 212 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of New York’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
