If only there was a website where you could look up anything you wanted… haha but just Google [City Name] Private Equity Companies and that should give you a good start. After that, you could try looking up using LinkedIN.

There are some fancier ways such as looking through FINRA or something for a list of all firms they regulate I believe, but Google should be enough.
