Currently about to enter my junior year summer, Full time goal is IB in NYC, and have the above offers. Weighing the pros/cons of being in NYC in terms of recruiting/networking but not getting IB experience compared to developing the skills, but being far from networking. Any suggestions, thoughts, or advice on this topic as well as FT recruiting? Thanks

Take the regional IB. The people looking at your resume next year are going to be stressed, busy, in some cases burned out, and planning to fill a handful of jobs from a hundred plus resumes. They won't care where you were spreading comps, building 3 statement models, and generating ppt slides the prior summer, they'll just know that you have and that therefore you won't ask them how to do it. Bloomberg is a great company and I'm sure the job is cool, but I think you are overestimating the networking value of being in NYC for a couple months (one of which everyone is on vacation for...).
Seconding everything said here. Networking can take place virtually and IB experience/a full time IB offer is leagues above a Bloomberg research job for FT recruiting.
