17:27
MAYBE
Checking your clock…
08:00–18:00 local is the honest clock for Newark. Newark still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−5 in January, UTC−4 in July). In Downtown Newark, a message at 20:00 is not 'catching them at the desk' — it is borrowing their night. Airport and port never stop; corporate Slack still follows New York hours. If the verdict would be NOT NOW, wait. Courtesy compounds. On an ordinary weekday in Newark, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
