As others have pointed out, you could just add 2 hours (in seconds) to
the offset but what about daylight saving time?

A better way is to set the timezone value.
e.g.

// save the current timezone
$my_tz = date_default_timezone_get();
// set the new timezone
date_default_timezone_set('America/New York');
// display the time and timezone
echo date('H:i:s T');
