The low-key friendliness of Stanley Nowak and his son is exemplary of Mo's Midtown's service and style. Customers know they'll get big servings of classic breakfast fare, served up by the all-Polish staff after it's created right behind the counter. Stanley thinks it's important to show the customer the cooking process. "Some restaurants, you don't know what's going on behind the door," he says.
