I'm not in NYC but good luck to you. Have you contacted all your friends at agencies and let them know you're free?
Most of the time people get hired through friends. And, often positions that weren't advertised become available that way.

How to get a job:
1) Pick up phone. Dial up a long lost industry "friend" and/or friend.
2) "Hey man. I haven't seen you in SO long"
3) "Let's grab a drink sometime. Let's catch up"
4) Do not mention your lack of work until much later in the night.
5) After rebonding, he'll offer to lend a hand if they hear anything, or possibly make a few phone call.
6) Repeat.
