The word search grid is filled with the names of beverages. One common beverage is missing: tea. When all the beverages are removed from the grid the below pattern remains. Astute hunters will realize that it is, in fact, the pre-silverline MBTA subway map with the various lines formed by the first letters of station names. Interstitial space on the lines are filled with the letter T. Five of the station initials were replaced with the letter E, as no actual stations start with E (stuff out on the green line doesn't count as it isn't on this map). Traversing the grid in any direction and reading out the five missing station initials spells RADAR.
