Anyone remember Decamarons? Remember WILD WENSDAY NIGHTS? What a club. Don't know if I spelled it right! It was a long time ago. Late ' 70's - early ' 80's.

    Decameron was the place to be on Wednesday nights...after Paul Cassella left DJ Joey O'Brien..was the DJ on Wild Wednesdays... I used to work the lights with Joey...Everyone came in Costume...it was great.... Nataly Petrone was the owner of the club...Decameron was also a great and classy restaurant as well... Joe O'Brien worked there for many years...great great memories

    Yes, wild Wenesdays! I went to St. John's and it was abig St. John's hangout. I think on Wednesday night there was also a drink special for us ladies. I rode the mechanical bull at Decameron's. I have been trying to spot the exact location on Hempstead Turnpike whenever I drive past the area, but I can't place it. I think it was just past Eisenhower Park. We came from Bayside ana would get off the Meadowbrook going east. Does anyone remember?

    Uncle Sam's was another big St. John's hang out.

  • KV

    I went there once or twice in the late 70s. A girlfriend/co-worker of my from Brooklyn actually introduced me to the place. I remember it being pretty "upscale" and besides a disco, there was also a restaurant. For some reason, I seem to remember another disco not to far from Decameron's . . . was it called Uncle Sam's??
