Weekly Modern Heroine: Kathryn Alvera

My Modern Heroine of the Week is restaurateur Kathryn Alvera, a woman admired for her courage, outstanding achievements & philanthropy. Read more about Kathryn ‘s fearlessness in opening 3 successful Chicago restaurants - most recently taking on the daunting buildout of the Marchesa building which dates back to the late 1870’s & was a piano bar in the early 1900’s which was shut down for “playing jazz on a gramophone”. Kathryn does it all with determination, grace, humor & generosity.
