PapiVivi was born in NYC in 2015, the result of a shared love between father and daughter of their family’s Puerto Rican recipes. Papi, a native of Cambridge, MA, was a school counselor at the time in Brooklyn. His daughter Vivi was a 2nd grader. Rave reviews from family and friends of Papi and Vivi’s cooking led the duo to branch out into every borough of NYC, handing out free sandwiches to all who passed by. The enthusiastic feedback continued, at which point Papi and Vivi decided to turn their idea into a legitimate business. A veteran of the food festival scene, most recently participating in the NYC Wine and Food Festival, father and daughter have now returned to Papi’s old stomping grounds. After serving the greater Boston area through pop-ups at local breweries and distilleries, PapiVivi is excited to open their first brick and mortar in Lynn, MA.
