But, with that little time, you would need to hire a car for the duration to/from the airport
This. Sadly, as close as EWR is to Manhattan, 6 hours isn't enough to comfortably accomplish your goal AND make your connecting flight. I guess if you're the adventuresome type and don't mind some stress, go for it. I think it would be really, really snug and everything would have to time out just right.
