Next stop: a specialty store called Conversation Piece, situated at the other end of the island from Old San Juan. In La Galleria, an assortment of chic boutiques in the lobby level of the El San Juan hotel, I pause to admire the varied window displays. But only Conversation Piece has a window full of the striking metal sculptures of Frank Miesler. The artist, born in Danzig and educated in London, now works in Israel and has a gallery in the Old City of Jaffa. But travelers to San Juan can buy Meisler pieces in Wachtel's specialty shop. "His work has often been presented as state gifts by Israel's president and prime minister," Wachtel says. She first saw Meisler's work on display in New York and pro- mptly asked if she could represent him in Puerto Rico. Now she carries a selection of Meisler's work that ranges from intricate mezzot to biblical figures. For Judaica collectors, Wachtel also car- ries the colorful ceramic plates of Israeli ceramicist Ruth Faktor. "And we can hardly keep them in stock," she says,.lifting out one vivid- ly colored plate. "I sold six of these today." As the last stop on my San Juan jaunt, I go "shopping" not for Judaica but for cuisine. San Juan again sur- prises me. Even though the city has not a single kosher restaurant, I find myself ordering kosher roast chicken in one of San Juan's most elegant restaurants. My window table at La Rotisserie in the Caribe Hilton Hotel overlooks the hotel's tropical gardens. But I'm also drawn to the view in one corner of the restaurant, where a cook is deftly rotating steaks, seafood, and chicken over an open fire. One of those orders is mine. When I see the entree on the menu which reads, "Plump whole kosher chicken Em- pire," I can't resist. This is the chance to try a traditional staple in an entirely new setting. "Empire chicken is a long tradition because our Jewish clients requested it," explains executive chef Mario Ferro, who obligingly came out of the kitchen — briefly — to answer my queries. "And when we tested it, we felt it was good food, so we decided to put it on the menu per- manently." But because this is the elegant most hotel's OrS ArlS NIC riVa Guaranteed Tours.
