Big studios commission work from major subtitling companies like Deluxe, SDI, Technicolor, BTI etc They do not deal with translators themselves - anyway, translation is a tiny part and cost of comissioning work like this, most of it would be digital mastering and technical stuff.
Most of the major subtitling companies would be based either in Burbank or Santa Monica, Los Angeles, with offices in India. There's another bunch of companies based in London/Stockholm.
New York wouldn't be much of a location, although some of the majors might have an office there (Deluxe, Techniclolor). It's a very California-based business and New York is too expensive for having a major physical office.
Also, around 99% of subtitlers work at home, so it does not matter where the office is based. Most of the actual office work like translator and project management has been farmed to India (Bangalore usually).
