1 big thing: Nurses walk out

Thousands of nurses at two New York City hospitals walked out this morning, striking over working conditions and salaries they say have led to burnout, Axios' Arielle Dreher reports.

🖼️ The big picture: The New York strike is the latest example of health care worker unrest. Last year, 15,000 nurses in Minnesota walked out for three days.

More than 7,000 nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital and Montefiore Bronx began striking at 6 a.m. after talks to avert a strike failed overnight.

  • Mount Sinai began transferring babies from its neonatal intensive care unit in preparation for the strike, CNN reports.

Mount Sinai Hospital leaders said they're offering wage increases to their nurses that have been ratified at six other hospitals.

2. "Most potent" storm yet

Another "atmospheric river" is barreling through California — bringing widespread flash flooding, river flooding, mudslides and staggeringly high mountain snowfall totals.

  • This is predicted to be the "most potent system" yet in the parade of storms that began pummeling the state late last month.

There is no end in sight to these storms through the end of the month.

Some mountain locations will see 6 feet of snow — and with it, an increased chance of avalanches.

  • An estimated 115,000 customers were without power as of this afternoon.

The National Park Service says nine sites in Mississippi connected with the 1955 murder of Emmett Till and the 1964 Mississippi Freedom project fit the requirements for the National Park System, Axios' Russell Contreras reports.

  • Some sites have been abandoned for years.

Congress can pass legislation authorizing the National Park Service to make the sites part of the National Park System. President Biden also can designate the sites under the Antiquities Act.

4. 🍽️ Restaurant stunner: Noma to shutter

Noma — the Copenhagen restaurant that repeatedly topped lists of the world's best and drew "gastro tourists" to Denmark just for the $500 tasting menu — will close for regular service at the end of 2024 due to economics, The New York Times' Julia Moskin reports (subscription).

  • The creator, René Redzepi, said the math of compensating nearly 100 employees fairly isn't workable.
  • "We have to completely rethink the industry," he told The Times. "This is simply too hard, and we have to work in a different way."

Noma, which has three Michelin stars, says that in 2025, it'll transform into a giant lab — "a pioneering test kitchen dedicated to the work of food innovation and the development of new flavors, one that will share the fruits of our efforts more widely than ever before."

  • Periodic pop-ups are planned. Products will be available through an e-commerce site, Noma Projects.
