FIRST FOOD DELIVERY

Most homebodies associate delivery with Chinese food, but it appears the first city restaurant to offer it wasn’t Asian at all.

In 1770, the Queen’s Head Tavern at 54 Pearl St. (later known as Fraunces Tavern, still open today) began offering delivery, says food historian Andrew Smith. (On the menu in 1783? Turtle.) The 1891 book “New York and Its Environs” by Gustav Kobbé notes that the Queen’s Head offered “suppers dressed to send out, for lodges and others, who live at a convenient distance.” nypost.com
