Pro Tip: Amtrak Northeast Corridor = EWR's Secret Weapon
EWR is the only major NYC-area airport with direct Amtrak rail access. AirTrain Newark to Newark Liberty International Airport Station → Amtrak Northeast Regional or Acela to Penn Station typically takes 25-30 minutes to Manhattan. Use TrafficVision cameras on the NJ Turnpike to verify if driving is realistic before committing.
