Richard M. Decker opened The Fiesta Danceteria on Broadway November 21 and drew over 1,000,000 guests, making it New York Citys biggest nightclub. It offers self service, two doors, music from three orchestras and dinners for sixty five cents, with weekday chec ks about 75 cents and Sundays 90 cents.
