I have 4.5 hours between when my plane lands at EWR (domestic) and departs JFK (international).

Google Maps says the train trip from EWR to JFK is about 1.5 hours.

Do I have enough time for a quick bite to eat in Manhattan? Or is that pushing it?

Is there a preferred train line?

(This will be in mid-December.)
