Help with Offers! MOE/LAZ/PWP vs GS/MS/JPM?

I have an offer at a top EB in a regional office but my ultimate goal/dream is to be in NYC at GS/MS/JPM due to both professional and personal reasons. I have been networking with the BB's extensively and believe that I could secure an offer from one of the top BB's. 

However, my contacts all said the earliest I can interview is mid May or early June and that they couldn't accelerate before then, but my EB offer expires in a week. Should I take the EB offer and then recruit and renege later on or take my chances with BB's?

GS is mostly done from what I have heard. I'd take Laz or PWP and be done.
