Neither/ either
Hi, can anyone tell me which sentence is correct? or both?
" I have never been either to London or to New York."
" I have never been neither to London nor to New York."
Thanks a lot.

Avoid the double negative . "I have never been either to London or to New York" is the correct choice. However, the 'either' is misplaced ("I have never been to either London or New York"); and in fact I see no need for it at all: "I have never been to London or New York".
