:said by CLNYC :Private sector experience is worth much more than government experience in the short and long term. Depending on your major see if you can find something at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Lehman Brothers etc...

You mention Finance companies, and not everyone may be interested in that field. Also NYC is a big government entity and there are some interesting internships in a variety of fields.
The important thing is that if you are a college student, you should be looking actively now for a summer internship - whether it be for profit, non for profit or government. I know of a few people who waited too long before getting into the hunt.
A lot of people on this site are probably interested in IT jobs... Finance companies still need programmers, admins, etc. Lehman Brothers is an excellent company from what I heard.
