Really? I've had people come by on public transport selling food and drink who appeared to be in the employ of the train/subway company. Maybe that was only in Europe though but the reason I singled out DC Metro was that, for me, the rule seemed very odd. However, I will bow to the rule now that I have been informed of its existence.

As an alternative to the Brooklyn Bridge you can walk the Manhattan Bridge which gives some great views of Downtown Manhattan too.
