Monday to Friday, 2 to 10 pm Paris time, which is 8 am to 4 pm Eastern for most of the year, except French public holidays
Passport and ID card appointments are booked on consulat.gouv.fr, the ministry's booking site, from the link for New York on the network's passport page: one appointment covers one person, and a passport and an ID card for the same person fit in one slot.

Phone number of the French Consulate in New York
For a question about a file, the number to call is France Consulaire, the information service for French citizens abroad (in French).
From the US it is +1 (646) 722-4776, at the price of a local call; from abroad, +33 2 14 16 20 31 (Monday to Friday, 2 to 10 pm Paris time, which is 8 am to 4 pm Eastern for most of the year, except French public holidays).
The consulate's own line, +1 (646) 957-5043, is for extreme emergencies of French nationals only (an accident, a death, an arrest, a child in danger); a lost passport is not one: report it through the contact form. (source)
France Consulaire's hours are set in Paris time, 2 to 10 pm. The network's contact page and the English version of this consulate's page convert them to 8 am to 4 pm Eastern; its French version says 9 am to 5 pm.
The first figure is right for most of the year: the one-hour gap only holds in the weeks when France and the US change their clocks on different dates. (sources: 1, 2, 3)
The number Google Maps gives for the consulate, (212) 606-3600, is the one the network lists for its social department (school grants), not a general line. Checked on Google Maps on October 6, 2026.
