In the same way that we take refuge in the Sangha for support and guidance, it's important to have a local group to support your eating choices. Do a google search for your town/city/area and "vegetarian," and you're likely to find a local veggie group. Such groups are great for meeting like-minded folks who can clue you in to the local veggie-friendly restaurants and serve as dining buddies. Most of these groups also host a weekly or monthly potluck veggie meal as part of their meeting.

You should be up-front with them and say that you're trying to become vegetarian, and ignore any fanatics who give you grief that you're not there yet. :)
