"Reusing the Diamond’s former space, Tony Petillo of Brooklyn Safehouse plans to open the Mallard Drake as a “cheap beer and shot joint” at 43 Franklin Street, near Calyer Street; he envisions duck-themed decor, a soda gun that dispenses pickle juice, and a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar on weekends. Petillo is still waiting on a liquor license, but expects the bar to operate roughly from 2 p.m. to 4 a.m." - Luke Fortney
