You should still try your luck with reservations though...
Update here: Just got off the phone with Barbie (yes I'm serious) at UA reservations, and she changed my flights to a 8.5hr layover at EWR, which should be enough to go into NYC. About 10 minutes on the line, and everything was taken care of free of charge. Wow!
