Port-au-Prince is on the same clock as New York right now, so a time in one is the same time in the other.
To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 11 hours 17 minutes long in Port-au-Prince, and losing 1 minute a day. The sun peaks at 11:33 am, 27 minutes before noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Port-au-Prince sits 11 minutes of solar time east of UTC−5:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.
Port-au-Prince lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around May 13 and July 29 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 13 hours 15 minutes and the shortest 11 hours 1 minute, 134 minutes apart.
