Down on 32nd Street, The Cloverleaf was the quintessential speakeasy of Prohibition-era New York, a place where the city’s most notorious figures mingled amidst the smoky allure of illicit freedom. With its cozy dancefloor and the spirited melodies of Harry Ford and the Indiana Five, the atmosphere was always electric. The club’s clientele was a veritable who’s who of the underworld, gangsters who not only frequented the place but owned it, with the infamous Frankie Yale holding a significant stake. Among the regulars was a young Al Capone, known then as Al Brown, who would casually enjoy his drinks in the corner. Despite their fearsome reputations, these gangsters were the unexpected guardians of The Cloverleaf’s raucous yet orderly environment. If a patron ever dared to disrupt the peace, the gangsters would swiftly intervene, unceremoniously throwing the troublemaker out. The Cloverleaf thrived as a sanctuary of jazz, dance, and a hint of danger, where every night was a testament to the wild, rebellious spirit of the Roaring Twenties.
