Remember Orbitz? It's okay if you don't: it was the soda with sugary balls suspended in it, the one that came out a couple of years ago and flopped harder than New Coke. If you liked Orbitz, or just enjoy vague and viscous objects floating in your drink, then head immediately to Chinatown Eatery to try one of the "pearl drinks" served at the eatery's Juice Bar. The "pearls" look like skinned grapes and taste not unlike tapioca, and if anyone knows what they're really made of, no one's telling. They come in a dozen different juices, including mango and star fruit. Juice Bar is located at 44 Beach Street (Chinatown), in Boston, on the second floor.
