The answer will be slightly different for different years (2009, 2008, 2007). For more information, see the Related Link below for a Sunrise-Sunset calendar for all the world's major cities (including New York).
The amount of daylight in New York varies throughout the year. In the summer months, New York can experience up to 15 hours of daylight, while in the winter months, it can have as little as 9 hours of daylight.
This difference in daylight hours between summer and winter in New York State is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During summer, the Northern Hemisphere, including New York State, is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours. In winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter daylight hours.
American Samoa is 6 hours behind New York during Standard Time (Winter) and 7 Hours behind New York during Daylight Saving Time. If it is noon in New York, it is 6am in winter and 5am in summer in American Samoa. The time difference to Samoa (Not American Samoa) is a little harder to calculate since their daylight saving time "falls" forward in September and "Springs" backwards in April. So the time difference is either 6 hours behind when both Samoa and the New York are in Daylight Saving Time. 7 Hours behind when New York is in Daylight Saving and Samoa is Not.
It is 5 hours behind GMT in winter and 4 hours behind in summer. The time zone in New York is the North American Eastern time zone. There are also another seventeen states in the United States in this time zone, all on the East coast.

No matter where you are, the Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year (well, the most hours of sunlight).Otherwise, technically, when you set the clocks back an hour in the fall, that particular day has 25 hours instead of 24.
