Live Auction Proceeds to Benefit New York City Charity

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2017 – Michelin and Robert Parker Wine Advocate are pleased to announce that New York non-profit, Breaking Ground, will receive the proceeds from a live auction to take place on Oct. 30. The auction is a component of a gala event, hosted by Michelin and Robert Parker Wine Advocate at the Ziegfeld Ballroom.  

Attendees will have an opportunity to bid on unique travel and leisure experiences from Michelin and other participating sponsors.

Since 1990, Breaking Ground has provided permanent, safe, and affordable housing and services for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Beginning with a single building, Breaking Ground is now the largest provider of supportive housing in New York City.  With 3,500 transitional and permanent apartments across 22 properties, the organization has helped more than 13,000 people escape and avoid homelessness.

“At Breaking Ground, we believe everyone deserves a home. Our passionate team works tirelessly to connect with the most vulnerable people in our society and help them access affordable and safe housing so they can build and restore their lives,” said Brenda Rosen, president and CEO of Breaking Ground. “We are so grateful to Michelin and Robert Parker for their generous commitment to our work and shared commitment to lift up New Yorkers in need.”

The live auction will take place during the celebration of the 13th edition of the MICHELIN Guide New York City for 2018 and the introduction of the inaugural Robert Parker Wine Advocate Extraordinary Winery Awards, honoring the best wineries in the U.S.  The event includes a gala dinner prepared by some of the most renowned chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.

Tickets and information about the gala dinner are available on the website:  MichelinGuideGala.com

About the MICHELIN Guide

Thanks to the rigorous MICHELIN Guide selection process that is applied independently and consistently around 28 countries, the MICHELIN Guide has become an international benchmark in fine dining. The selections of all restaurants in the guide are made by Michelin’s famously anonymous inspectors who dine in the areas regularly. These local inspectors are trained to scrupulously apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence. As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full, and only the quality of the cuisine is evaluated. To fully assess the quality of a restaurant, the inspectors apply five criteria defined by Michelin: product quality, preparation and flavors, the chef’s personality as revealed through his or her cuisine, value for money, and consistency over time and across the entire menu. These objective criteria are respected by all MICHELIN Guide inspectors, whether in Japan, the United States, China or Europe. They guarantee a consistent selection so that a star restaurant has the same value regardless of whether it is located in Paris, New York or Tokyo.
