Which Internship to Take?

I have 2 Finance internship offers. My goal is to get into investment banking next summer or in the future. My first finance internship offer is with a huge top 30 company and a better internship overall, but the location is far from New York. My second internship is with a company that is well known but not a top 50 company. The location is New York City. Although my first internship is a much more appealing one, which one should I accept. Will interning in new york help me get into investment banking?
