No?
Well I didn't either until I got my copy of this month's Cleveland Magazine and saw "Alexa Marinos" on the cover - crazy.
A month or so ago I was asked to participate in 'The City List' issue of Cleveland Magazine sharing some of my favorite spots in Cleveland. It was a total honor that they thought to include me and I sure did have a lot of places to tell the interviewer about.
A graphic illustration was created representing some of my go to haunts full with quotes and a "stunning" picture of me posed holding a plum.
This is so cool yet so so so so weird for me.I'll wait for you to stop giggling at my senior-picture-meets-desperate-real-housewives pose that I'm rocking.
A model, I am not.
And yes, for those of you who are wondering why I'm not wearing black - believe me, I wanted to - but I was told by the photographer, "NO BLACK".
Out of the many Cleveland hot spots I mentioned the editors chose a great sampling of some of my favorite places including the following must check out locations:
- Battery Park Wine Bar, batteryparkwinebar.com
- Capitol Theater, clevelandcinemas.com
- Cleveland Browns Tailgating, clevelandbrowns.com
- The Clevelander, clevelanderbar.com
- Cleveland Gladiators, clevelandgladiators.com
- A Cookie and a Cupcake, acookieandacupcake.com
- Cropicana (formerly Sunset Grille)
- Krusty's Summer Sauce Camp, malachihouse.org
- L'Albatros, albatrosbrasserie.com
- Lolita, lolitarestaurant.com
- Tina's Nite Club
- Touch Supper Club, touchohiocity.com
- Wendy Park, wendypark.org
- Winking Lizard, winkinglizard.com

It's funny to think that all of this happened because of my little blog.
We've come a long way, kid.
