17:27
MAYBE
Checking your clock…
Industry sets the pulse in Downtown Providence as much as the IANA zone America/New_York. A smaller Boston clock: earlier dinners, fewer 19:00 pings that get answers. The polite window around Downtown Providence is 08:00–17:00 local. Midwinter sunsets still arrive before dinner, which makes late Slack feel later than the clock. If you only remember one rule: Do not stack follow-ups just because you are still in your afternoon. Providence still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−5 in January, UTC−4 in July).
