UTC is the Universal Time Coordinate, which is the time around the prime meridian (0 longitude). This meridian extends from the North Pole down to western Europe, western Africa, southeastern Atlantic Ocean and then to the South Pole.
New York is so much to the west of this meridian, around 74West meridian. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is the time zone around 75West meridian, and that includes New York. It is five hours behind UTC and it is usually expressed as UTC-5. In the summer, one hour is added to the time in many places around the Northern Hemisphere including New York. The time zone becomes four hours behind UTC (or UTC-4) instead of five. This is known as Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). This period extends from mid-March to early November in the USA, so New York is now in EDT.
