Best Day Ever: NBC's Tom Llamas shares his top Miami spots
Tom Llamas may be the new face of NBC Nightly News, but he's a proud 305 native.
The son of Cuban immigrants, the Belen Jesuit Prep graduate and former Telemundo reporter took over for Lester Holt as the show's anchor earlier this month. (He's also the anchor of Top Story with Tom Llamas on NBC News NOW.)
Given his Miami roots — and his frequent visits back home — we wanted to know what his perfect day in Miami would look like.
☀️ Morning activity: At my parents' house, it's drinking Cuban coffee and hanging out with my dad, reading the newspapers outside and enjoying the weather.
If we're at the beach, taking a walk with my wife early in the morning.
☕ Best place for breakfast: CasaCuba. I normally have a cafe con leche, croquetas, pan Cubano and scrambled eggs.
🎣 Favorite afternoon activity: Going to the beach or going out to fish.
🍗 Favorite place for lunch: El Mago De Las Fritas or The Sports Grill, which I think has the best wings in Miami.
