Like another poster stated, 4 hours isn't a whole lot of time to leave
the airport and return. Newark is not a pretty area and nothing within
walking distance - but the airport isn't much better.

Depending on how fast you can get to the train, NYC is about a 30 minute
train ride. And if time is tight in getting there, you could always buy
your souvenir at the shops in the station and turn around and go back.
Make sure you allow plenty of time to go through security at the airport.

I'm not familiar in how to get to the train from the airport (I believe
there is a stop), but you can access NJ transit information at
www.njtransit.com. I see the NE corridor line is having mechanical
problems today...another factor to consider for timing.

There's a monorail thing you have to ride to the train station, which is on
the airport lot but not really in the airport. Then from there you hop an NJ
Transit train to the city.

Are there any developments with regards to bringing Path to the Newark airport
station to which the monorail "thing" connects ?

If one is going to the stock exchange district, wouldn't the slower Path
(compared to NJ transit) still be faster than going to Penn station in
Manhattan, and then transfering to subway to head back south ?

Here's the info on the airtrain at the airport. I guess you buy the
tickets at the airport to save money and time.
