 Ironically , the sunny post @-@ daybreak conditions depicted as occurring at the time used as the episode 's title ( 6 : 02 AM Eastern Standard Time ) cannot ever occur anywhere in New York state under the Daylight Saving Time rules used in the contemporary United States . Even on the very first days of the period in the autumn when DST ends and New York returns to Standard Time , the sun has not yet risen over any part of the state . The same is true on the last day of Standard Time in the spring ( even in Montauk , Long Island , which is the southeasternmost point of New York , the sunrise on the final day of EST in 2011 was at 6 : 06 AM ) . A better title for the episode would have thus have been " 6 : 02 AM EDT " .
