Esquire magazine is having a big party on Kentucky Derby day in the Big Apple.

Esquire Editor-in-Chief David Granger and Union Square Hospitality Group CEO Danny Meyer host the “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” at NYC’s Eleven Madison Park using Marker’s Mark Bourbon for their mint juleps.

Daniel Humm will be rustlin’ up southern grub with a cigar bar, live music, silent auction and Bourbon tastings.

Maker’s Mark will be serving mint juleps in the traditional silver cups, Nat Sherman, the legendary tobacconist, will be on the patio cigar lounge, and Kentucky Bluegrass music will be wafting through the air.

The silent auction will benefit the New York Horse Rescue.
