A NYC resident owns a company that carts ads around on trucks. He challenges the law, but loses. The city need only show a legitimate reason for the restriction against the guy's freedom to K.
But, what if he had a Newark cabbie bring the suit? Ad on top of cab, can't bring fairs from the airport into the city- RESTRICTION ON INTERSTATE COMMERCE- bad law!

Find a ferryboat captain, and all of a sudden you can use Gibbons v. Ogden too! Then you're stylin'.
