Where does Holden plan to go before going home on Wednesday in Chapter 7 of The Catcher in the Rye?

, from
, decides to go to New York City before going home.  He has recently been
kicked out of Pency.  He knows that he cannot stay at Pency; he must leave by Wednesday.  So,
after his fight with Stradlater, Holden decides that he will leave that very evening and go to
New York City. Holden decides that what he needs is to go to the City, get a cheap hotel room,
and "take it easy" until he goes home on Wednesday.  Holden does not want to go home
before Wednesday in hopes that the letter kicking him out of school might arrive before he gets
home.  He wants his parents to have the news of his removal from the school "till they got
it and thoroughly digested it and all".
