Portuguese or Hawaiian?
Blue Honu seems to have it on its menu:

Found some here:
Rockefeller Center, street fair that ran the length of the Avenue of the Americas. (6th Avenue)
We got a few pieces of something that looked like malasadas, in size, shape and smell, dusted with confectioner's sugar. They gave it to us in a brown paper sack with powdered sugar in the bottom. It was tasty--crispy on the outside like andagi but more sticky and stretchy.
(They were probably zeppoli, which are sold at street fairs in NYC. They're deep-fried, but not as light and fluffy as malasadas.)

I'm from Hawaii :) I once had Beignets (plural of Beignet) at the Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans, and was surprised to discover they were much like Malasadas (it's French). Zeppole is another similar dish and is Italian. You should be able to find a Zeppole somewhere up there!
Ask these guys if they have beignets of that type:

Look here for Zeppoles, if they don't have it, they might know who does!
