Moment.js (http://momentjs.com/timezone) is your friend.

You want to do something like this:

var d = new Date(1458619200000);
var myTimezone = "America/Toronto";
var myDatetimeFormat= "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss a z";
var myDatetimeString = moment(d).tz(myTimezone).format(myDatetimeFormat);

console.log(myDatetimeString); // gives me "2016-03-22 12:00:00 am EDT"
