Here’s a good way to pay tribute to J.D. Salinger: use the New York Times interactive map to retrace the steps of Holden Caulfield’s Manhattan bender. You may have to improvise a little, though — not sure you can count on the elevator boy in the Edmont Hotel to get you a prostitute for the evening, for instance. We don’t really have elevator boys anymore, do we? The world has lost so much.
