Yes, we've been working on getting liquid nitrogen in for our liquid nitrogen ice cream day for our members.
The nitrogen itself is inexpensive and easy to get from the Airgas company which has a local outlet (in the Burlington/Billerica area I think). The expensive thing is the dewar which can cost a couple hundred dollars. I think you could rent it from airgas as well, but will be cheaper if you find a friend with one. You might also want some cryo-gloves unless you can be very careful.
If you know someone at a local university who will help you use their equipment, it might be best.
