maybe walk around the neighborhood to coffee shops that do this sort of thing and see if you can commission some employee of said establishment to also chalk up your establishment?
There's a ton of coffee shops and tiny restaurants in brooklyn that do their own signs well.

Variety in Williamsburg, on Graham Avenue at Grand I think? Near Graham Avenue L train stop. There's a girl in there called Amanda who always does really nice jobs but they're not so calligraphic.

thru college i worked as a barista. my favorite part of the day was doing the chalkboard work, i took half the morning on them - but, would always gather a good crowd so the boss was cool with it. then, when i became the boss, i took the whole morning on them. good days.
- I had a similar experience working at a pub - best part of the job.nosaj

Seriously great–going to contact her tomorrow morning! Anyone have more leads? I'm sure the restaurant owners would like to talk to more than one artist, but we'll see.
Thanks for the help, alles! You rock, Rock.

Crap-o-la.
Dana is booked until summer, and we need this done in the next month.
Anyone else? I'm about to post on Craigslist...*shudder*
- oh surely there is a better way to find someone than CL.flashbender
- Unless you are looking for a one night stand with a midget tranny - then CL can't be beat... or so I'm toldflashbender
- HA. Just worried the opening will be delayed because of lack of menu....Bargels

can Dana recommend anyone? i wonder if jessica hische would take it on. seems all those calligraphic letter ladies go though Louise Fili, don't they. post a sign up in dumbo and i bet you'd get better hits than craigslist.
