Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:59:47 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Starting in 2024, all Americans heading to Europe will have an extra step – and an extra fee – other than booking a flight and hotel. The European Union will soon require incoming foreigners to fill out an online application before they enter popular tourist destinations like France, Italy, Spain and Greece. It's not just Americans – the EU says travelers from 60 visa-exempt countries will need to apply through the ETIAS process. (ETIAS stands for European Travel Information and Authorisation System.) The EU says the new requirement will affect 1.4 billion people from around the world.

After just a year, Momento in downtown St. Paul to close to re-concept

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:59:47 GMT

Momento, the restaurant that opened about a year ago in the former Pazzaluna space, is closing temporarily.The restaurant will close from July 30-Sept. 5. When it reopens on Sept. 6, there will be a new concept that includes a new chef and entirely new food and drink menus.Memento was a more casual eatery than Pazzaluna, with a bar front-and-center. There were still a few pizzas (probably Pazzaluna’s most popular item) on the menu, and the wood-fired oven was used to make more appetizers and entrees.A spokesperson for Morrissey Hospitality, which owns Momento, said the name of the restaurant will remain the same, but the decor will have some noticeable changes. For now, the company plans to keep the Adam Turman mural that adorns one side of the space.Downtown St. Paul has been slow to rebound from the pandemic. Although shows and events are returning, workers are not. Many, including government workers, remain remote or hybrid, making it tricky for restaurants to keep steady busines...

They said Earth’s temperature has been temporarily passing over a key warming threshold: the internationally accepted goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius, which is about 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit.Temperatures were 1.5 degrees warmer than pre-industrial times for a record 16 days this month, but the Paris climate accord aims to keep the 20- or 30-year global temperature average to 1.5 degrees.
