Fresh delivery for Brooklyn addressee? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new yorker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brooklyn addressee?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'fresh delivery' is the wordplay.
'fresh' becomes 'new' (associated in meaning).
'delivery' becomes 'yorker' (type of cricket delivery).
'new'+'yorker'='NEW YORKER'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for new yorker that I've seen before include "Statesman" , "humorous magazine" , "Citizen of the Big Apple city" , "Queens resident, possibly" , "One from the Bronx, perhaps" .)
