Appended is a "Summary of Vegetarian/Natural Food dining in Baltimore"
I complied three years ago.  I have not checked any of the information
since then, except that Bloodroot is still alive and exquisite in
Bridgeport, CT.

There were also quite a few good restaurants 8 to 12 blocks north of the
Harbor area on N.Charles.  This included a bookstore cafe on the west
side of the street with excellent cuisine at reasonable prices
(including vegetarian selections).  Sadly, the name escapes me.

Followup-To's directed to rec.food.veg.

The replies i received are appended (slightly edited).

If you are driving from New England, i recommend you plan a lunch stop
at Bloodroot, 85 Ferris St, Bridgeport, CT 06605 (203)576-9168.

It's one of the best vegetarian/natural food restaurants in the
Northeast (and better than Kung Food in San Diego).  Run by a Feminist
collective.  There is a small bookstore and t-shirt vendory attached.
It's about a mile off I-95 on the harbor.  Take Exit 25 turning south
onto Fairfield Ave, at the third stop light take a left onto Ellsworth
Street, take the second left onto Thruston Street, right onto Harbor
Ave, left onto Ferris.  Call first to make sure they are open.  Last
time i was there, their hours were: Lunch: 11:30 to 2:30, Tues, Thurs,
Fri, Sat.  Dinner: 6 to 9 Tues and Thurs, 6 to 11 Fri and Sat.
Brunch: 11:30 to 2:30 Sun.

	Try calling the Baltimore Vegetarians at (301)752-VEGV.
Or write them at PO Box 1463, Baltimore, MD  21203.

	They're an extremely well-informed group and have a
significant national presence through their (excellent) 
Vegetarian Journal.

So i did.  The August 88 issue has the following list of restaurants.
You can join for $18.00 single, $25.00 family a year, and get their
"Vegetarian Journal".  Inder is right, it's an excellent publication.
Give it a try for a year!

i have not re-entered the places mentioned above.  I will post several
copies of the list at USENIX.
