What I wrote thereFold it away
Williamsburg Brooklyn has gone through radical change in the last few decades, but a staple of the old neighborhood has lived on. The Fortunato Brothers Bakery was founded in 1976 by three brothers from Italy. The Williamsburg bakery has stood the test of time thanks to mouthwatering treats. They make some of the best cannolis in New York City that have an audible crunch and silky smooth filling.
And not only do the Fortunato Brothers make a can’t-miss cannoli, but they also make a cannoli shot. Before my fellow boozy buds get excited, there’s no alcohol in it. A cup is made using the shell of a cannoli. And has a base of chocolate, then a layer of Nutella and it’s topped with cannoli cream. It’s a fun and unique treat being served out of one of the best bakeries in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
