Welcome to the list!

There was an article in the NY Times a few years ago about "Holden
Caulfield's New York"; also a small commentary a few years before that by
Mary Cantwell on the editorial page.

The more recent one was a virtual travelogue of the city based on Holden's
wanderings.  It's defintely something you can check in your friendly
neighborhood library, in whatever index that have that covers the NY Times.
Just look for subject "Caulfield, Holden," and you should be on your way.
