Obviously you should organize a local meetup for dim sum .

I've never had dim sum or been to a place that offered it

There's a cool old opera house building in Boston's Chinatown, and it's a 2-floor Dim Sum establishment nowadays.  Like a million tables and servers going around with carts filled with little plates.  Much fun.  Although if you are by chance vegetarian, there is literally nothing to eat except steamed green vegetables and plain white rice.

take any of the chinese food you like... Throw some flour on it... deep fry...   That will approximate dim-sum.

My favourite thing when visiting my Dad in Guangzhou, you can have Dim Sum at midnight, its amazing, if you can somehow find a place that serves late Dim Sum over there do it, its almost as amazing as having McDonalds breakfast at 1AM.

Also I've never had a problem with vegetarians and Dim Sum... They usually have a decent vegetarian selection, though you sometimes have to order it separately so that might be the problem, but if your at a legit Chinese place just ask and they usually have tons of tofu disks and vegetable dishes to order and maybe even zhai (Chinese imitation meat stuff that actually tastes good, I'm a meat lover and I still eat it all the time).

u probably shouldn't tell them that they prepare all the vegetarian stuff on the same grill and utensils

which means there's a great deal of animal fat in there despite being "vegetarian".

I guess? I've never really known any aggressive vegetarian/vegans so none of the ones I do know were really worried about cross contamination at the cooking stage.
