Exchanging $ for € for a trip to Milan

Where is the best way to exchange dollars for euros for a trip to Milan? We are traveling from NYC and will need maybe €100 upfront to get from the airport to the hotel. But for the rest of the trip, should we exchange money before leaving at a bank in NYC or wait until we get to Milan? I heard we should avoid the currency exchange at MXP. I also heard that the exchange rate is best by withdrawing from an ATM, but the banks that we use have foreign exchange fees (Chase, Citi & TD Bank). We will plan to use our Citi AA Executive card wherever MC is accepted. Thx
