The 718 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 718 is exclusively tied to New York City, located at the heart of Manhattan. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Brooklyn – the vibrant cultural hub of the city
Queens – known for its diversity and culinary scene
The Bronx – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 718 has represented New York pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all boroughs.
The 718 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone – 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 718 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 718 area code covers all of New York City, including:
Brooklyn

and many more.
