Uh, i may be older than your target question, but cruising never ended here.

Jerry's Curb Service has been around since 1942, recently remodeled and expanded - still have carhops although they now use wirelss palm pilots to take you order!

I went there in the 70s to see the cars. Across the river is Hanks - mexican food and (regular) ice cream. No carhops, but no interior tables either.

Cruising is big now,but more car show than the 70s stuff i remember.
