Best time to meet between New York and Cape Town

The sweet spot is 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM New York time, matching 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Cape Town. Cape Town is 6 hours ahead of New York. That leaves about 4 hours of common time — enough for a meeting or two, so use it deliberately. Because only New York changes its clocks, the overlap above isn't fixed; expect a one-hour shift when New York enters or leaves daylight saving.
