Summary

The show will go on for Noma's pop-up restaurant in Los Angeles’s Silver Lake neighborhood, but some of Noma's sponsors like American Express, Resy, and Blackbird are pulling out of the 16-week event after allegations of abusive behavior by chef and co-founder René Redzepi toward his staff. Meanwhile, your trip to LAX might cost you more than usual as the airport starts charging rideshare companies like Uber, Lyft, and taxis higher access fees. The new fees will take effect later this summer when the airport opens its long-delayed automated train known as Skylink. In business, Yamaha Motor Corp. announces it will relocate its California operations to Kennesaw, Georgia, by the end of 2028, and Disney names Thomas Mazloum as the new chairman of Disney Experiences, overseeing theme parks and cruise lines.
