Hard to believe that New Jersey is an hour behind Santo Domingo; New York is presently same time.
I say presently because in the fall, when the US "falls back" for the winter, then there is an hour difference, with New York being one hour behind SD. Plays havoc with the tv schedule here.
Again, with New York and SD currently on same time, very hard for me to believe that New Jersey isn't, also. I've always thought they were on the same time. But if someone from New Jersey tells me otherwise............
DR is on AST, which is EST + 1hour all year - e.g. no Dyalight Savings Time at all.
So when we in the EST "spring forward" , that is go +1 hour for Daylight Time (making it EDT) we are the same as the DR.
In the fall and winter when we "fall back" they are an hour ahead of us.
So during our Standard Time you fly there with the same departure times and arrive and hour later but leave an hour later coming home and arrive at the same time.
Since the DR choose not to change time anylonger we are currently 6 hours late in western europe besides the UK and Portugal which have I believe 7 hours difference.

Time difference....
time
as Jim would say "time is the essence."
