Relocate to NYC for summer - find internship once up there?

Let's say you're still looking for internships and you can get a decent bargain on a place for the summer within 30-45 minutes of manhattan.

Would moving up there for the summer be worth it? Of course, employers will take applicants/cold-callers more seriously if they're within the area. But let's say you're there in June - how many boutiques and small shops would still be looking?

Hope this idea doesn't sound too silly...

I tried doing this for about a month (April) and did not land anything
