Is there a way to get the offset time zone for a given date.
For example, if I am in New York and I pass in 12-12-2009 4 PM I would get back “-4” as we are 4 hours off GMT.
(In .NET land there is a function to do that off the DateTime class. So I’m guess Cocoa has it too?)

This will return the offset in seconds.
See Apple’s documentation on the NSTimeZone class for details.
