Thanx to Ellis S. Cohen , keeper of USENET's Boston Restaurant List and Mark (M.) Wisdom , keeper of rec.food.veg's World List of Vegetarian Restaurants.

Be sure to call ahead to make sure of the hours, prices, and get directions.

Remember to check the Yellow Pages.  There are sections Restaurants-X with interesting values of X being: "Chinese", "Indian", "Japanese", "Korean", "Lebanese", "Middle East", "Thai", "Vietnamese".  Most restaurants of these cuisines in Boston will have vegetarian options, though the quality and number of selections varies a lot.
