Searching for regional boutique investment banking firm internships?

<p>What are some tips/tricks/advice to go about searching for regional boutique i-banking internships? Do you just google a specific geographic area and make a list of the firms that you find and cold call their human resources? Look through the phone book? Is there some introduction or spheel you should give?</p>

<p>Secondly, if you weren't able to land an internship at firms in NY, should you call their regional offices and see if they have internship opportunities in regional branches?</p>

<p>I'd be glad if someone could answer these questions.</p>
