How much advantage does NYC give you?

Wondering how much being in NYC is an advantage in terms os recruiting for banking. I understand that networking is one of the most important factors when breaking into Wall Street, but considering other top 10-15 BS that most banks (BB/EB) have OCR, being in NYC would play such a significant role? My question is for associate level, but might work for analysts as well.
