Thoughts on making "cold appearances"?

Hey guys, what's the general consensus on "cold appearances" (for lack of a better word). I'm trying to get a summer internship before I go to grad school, and was thinking about showing up to boutiques in person and asking to speak with the MDs...

Should I cold-email first, then cold-call, then go? I wanted to do something that stands out as I'm sure these MDs get daily emails/calls from students...

Any thoughts?
