Going to NYC from Newark during COVID
NYC just lifted travel ban for those who are vaccinated. It is cheaper to fly there via EWR, coming from IAH. Does anyone know if I can land in Newark and take a train/cab to nyc without quarantine? Seems like per New Jersey rules I need to quarantine but not for New York. Do I need to fly through LGA instead to avoid New Jersey altogether? Thanks!!

NJ's quarantine recommendation is for those staying in NJ, unless coming from the neighboring states, and you'd be just transiting through NJ from the airport to NYC so you're ok.
This won't apply right now but for future readers the exemption for those who received both doses is only for he first 90 days from the second dose.

NO ONE is going to stop you walking out of EWR. I travel in and out of EWR weekly.

No issue deboarding or exiting airport.
You have three options from EWR to NYC
You have three options from EWR to NYC
- Direct bus (must look at schedule to see if time aligns with your arrival)
- Train via NJ Transit
- Ride/share or Uber which is very high price as you will be charged a toll which is $13.75-16.00
