Why the gap changes

Hawaii never observes daylight saving, so the gap with New York grows by an hour when the mainland springs forward in March and shrinks again in November. That shift is why recurring calls with Honolulu move on the calendar twice a year.

Over the next 12 months the difference is 5 hours or 6 hours, depending on the date. The table and the converter always use the date you pick. See EST vs EDT for why the abbreviations change.
