Boutique Research Shops NY/CHI/SF

I'm not sure if there's already a comprehensive list on here but I've been looking at ER and am wondering if anyone knows of some reputable boutique and/or mid-sized firms to look at. I obviously know that the major banks all have ER but wondering if there's some smaller shops that would give me valuable experience. Looking at NY, Chicago, or San Francisco primarily. Thanks.
