The sentence

> 東京へなにしに行くの？

translates to

> What are you going to Tokyo for?

**Question:** How do we parse (and what is the meaning of) にしに行く? (I'm
assuming なに is just 何).

**Attempt:** According to [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/94242/what-
does-%E3%81%AA%E3%81%AB%E3%81%97%E3%81%AB-mean), the term "なにしに" is short for

> 何をしに来たんだ？

but that seems to collide with with なに and 行く already in the sentence?

translation
What does しに行く mean?
masu stem + に行く is used to express going somewhere and doing something.

し in this case is stem of する so しに行く would be the most generic version of this
expression but you can use pretty much any verb.

Like 飲みに行こうか "Shall we go for a drink?"
