Neither one is correct. "I am not going to go to New York" is correct.

Which is correct?

I am going to not to go to New York.
I am going not to go to New York.

I want to know if the negative base form follows "be going to". Please tell me the [strike]right[/strike] rules. Thank you.

Please see my changes above. We don't enclose sentences or quotes in brackets (like this). Either put them on separate lines or enclose them in quotation marks "like this".

Start every sentence with a capital letter. Always capitalise the word "I". End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
