The 917 area code was created in 1992 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 917 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
Brooklyn – a vibrant and diverse community
Queens – known for its cultural diversity and attractions
For generations, 917 has represented New York pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all boroughs.
The 917 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 917 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The area is characterized by densely populated urban neighborhoods and a diverse array of cultural attractions.
The 917 area code covers all of New York City, including:
