Liz and Alyssa found some Cannoli at the shop at the Whitehall Ferry Terminal while waiting for the Staten Island Ferry and enjoyed it while on the Ferry.
From WikiPedia:
Cannoli are Italian pastry desserts. The singular is cannolo, meaning “little tube”, with the etymology stemming from the Latin "canna", or reed. Cannoli originated in Sicily and are an essential part of Sicilian cuisine. They are also popular in Italian American cuisine.
Cannoli consist of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling usually containing mascarpone (or alternatively, but less traditionally, sweetened ricotta cheese) blended with some combination of vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, Marsala wine, rosewater or other flavorings.
