Madame Fortune Dessert + HiFi Parlour is a speakeasy located in the Ybor City neighborhood of Tampa that serves high-end cocktails, mouth-watering soul food and beautiful desserts. The speakeasy pays tribute to Madame Fortune Taylor, a formerly enslaved woman who lived on over 30 acres in Tampa after the Civil War with her husband, where they grew citrus trees and sold baked goods. After her husband passed, former Mayor and real estate developer Edward A. Clark helped Mrs. Taylor gain free and clear title to her land, buying 28 acres from her and using it to create the plan for the City of North Tampa. Today, Fortune Street still runs through the center of what is now North Downtown Tampa and a portion of The Tampa Riverwalk North.
