How to convert unix timestamp to JavaScript date object (consider time zone)

Viewed 21450
var date = new Date(1257397200000​);
document.write(date);
​

Ran the code above I got Wed Nov 04 2009 23:00:00 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time)

I am looking for a way to create date object based on different time zone, say for that time stamp I want to obtain date object like Thursday, November 5th 2009, 00:00:00 (GMT -5).

Note that the dates are different according to above two time zones, though they represent same point in time. I am in CST, is that why the created object is generated using CST?

Thank you.
