Hope of you guys that frequent EWR could help me out. If I'm flying United and have a stopover at EWR is there anywhere I could meet up with some friends before security. I have a few hour stopover but not enough time to leave the airport. Can I leave the secure area and sit with them somewhere? They are not flying. Any foot court type places that have tables and chairs available pre-security? Since I'm flying on 1 itinerary on United my bags will get checked through to my final destination so I think I just have to leave myself enough time to get through security. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

I heard there is a food court with tables & chairs pre security in Terminal B. Is this correct? Can I just take the AirTrain over to terminal b and meet them there?

Apparently there is a McDonald's, a coffee shop, a full-service "Charlie's Steakery," and I don't know what else. I've never examined it myself.
You can ride AirTrain over to Terminal B. [Deleted inaccurate observation about AirTrain being post-security.]

Huh? Walk back? The AirTrain is on the air side? I don't think that's correct. The AirTrain is what takes you in between terminals at Newark and to the Newark Airport train station which obviously is not even on airport property. Can someone please confirm that I'll easily be able to get back and forth from Terminals B & C pre-security in just a few minutes using the AirTrain.

I did google and that's why I asked again on here. I wanted to make sure I was understanding it correctly b/c the previous poster clearly stated AirTrain wasn't accessible pre-security. Thanks for the clarification.

So, regarding the PATH option into NYC, how do you propose to get from EWR to Newark Penn Station most effectively? I've always been frustrated by the fact that to get anywhere from EWR, one must wait for the AirTrain, take it a couple stops, wait for the NJ Transit to go ONE STOP, then wait for the PATH. Seems woefully inefficient to me. Why can't the PATH just go directly to Newark Penn?

blame the Port Authority

If that is not bad enough, the Port Authority charges the Hilton 10K to be listed in its direct dial telephone listings at the hotel shuttle terminal. The Port Authority is IMO a money pit, accountable to no one.

Take a Newark-bound #62 NJ Transit bus from any EWR terminal to Newark Penn Station. @:-)

You are right. I was tired when I posted and confused the EWR AirTrain with other infrastructure elsewhere.

While the NJ Transit bus #62 is a great option from Newark Penn Station to the airport keep in mind that the bus doesn't have luggage racks so if you're traveling with a lot of luggage it might be easier to take a train. The Path / Bus #62 is for sure the cheapest way to get to from Manhattan to EWR. Keep in mind the Path train recently increased to $2.75 a ride.

Restaurant recommendation at EWR :
Ok, I haven't read this whole thread but I'm sure it's been mentioned here somewhere.
In terminal C - Vino Volo, awesome winebar - and their fig jam/prosciutto Sandwhich is bomb!
I go every week and the waiters are super quick and pro.
Usually , the same guy is there and we have become decent buddies and knows my order by heart.
Comfy chairs, FREE WIFI, great food, great wine
Recommended to anyone going to EWR and have that fig jam sandwhich!

Quick Question for the EWR Regulars: I have a flight coming into EWR from IAD at 7:10am and my flight to MBJ is at 8:00am (50 minute window). I am landing and coming into Terminal A and flying out of Terminal C. Is the air train back up to normal? How easy or difficult to make the transition from Terminal A to Terminal C for a 50 minute transition. Please let me know.
