  Hi, I am only familiar with parts of the southeast. Thus I suggest Asheville NC as an excellent place to stop & eat. Asheville is a vegetarian & vegan paradise!!! It's a pretty town too. Small population around 80,000.
  I also find Chattanooga TN to be quite moderately veg friendly. Chattanooga is more of a small city(population 150,000) There are some great vegetarian friendly restaurants. However there is only one Vegan restaurant & it is only open for lunch.

  katza,
  
  I have a lot of suggestions but it would be helpful if you could tell us more about what you are looking for exactly. For example, what do you consider to be a "small" town or city. Portland is almost certainly the most veg friendly place around and isn't huge. Like lentil, I'd suggest Asheville as an excellent option and is my personal favorite city/town in the eastern usa.

  Portland, Maine is an extremely veg-friendly smaller city. Their are at least 3 completely veg restaurants and dozens of others with tons of veg options. They also have a thriving veg festival every year, and now have a veg journalist doing a natural food column regularly in the local paper. 2 hours north of Boston.
