Let’s face it — you can’t have “Lower Haight” without “Earth.”
Well, you could, but it would be “Lowhig,” which would be meaningless.
Non-sequiturs aside, what do we do with Lower Haight news stories that aren’t quite right for the front page? Do we throw them away? Heck no, that would be wasteful.
Instead, in the spirit of sustainability, we give these precious news stories new life, via the compost bin that is… Lower Haight Leftovers!

It’s a historic morning, folks — and not just because of that whole Egypt thing.
No, the big news is that SF Beer Week is finally upon us!
From today until February 20th, bars and breweries all over the Bay Area will be participating with rare brews and special events, but you don’t have to leave the area to join in the fun.
With the help of beer-loving Haighteration reader @troymccluresf of goldengatebeerbars.com, we’ve compiled a list of all the Beer Week events going on in (and near) the Lower Haight.
Here’s our round-up!

When our favorite New Mexican eatery, Green Chile Kitchen, relocated to McAllister and Baker last November, we were left to wonder what would take its place. Four months later, we finally have our answer.
Introducing Chile Pies (& Ice Cream), an offshoot of G.C.K. that opened on Wednesday, serving up both sweet and savory delicacies with a distinctly New Mexican flavor. The menu, which will likely rotate with the seasons, currently includes such creations as Lemon Buttermilk Pie, Peach Galette, Frito Pie, and the signature — wait for it — Green Chile Apple Pie with Walnuts and a Cheddar Crust Served a la Mode with Red Chile Honey Drizzle.
Yeah.
If pies ain’t your thing, they also have ice cream, including soft serve from Straus Family Creamery, organic flavors from our buddies Three Twins, and vegan varieties from Mission-based Cafe Gratitude. There’s organic coffee, too.
True, Chile Pies is at Baker and Fulton, which isn’t exactly the Lower Haight. But next time you’ve got a hardcore hankering for pie, or a homesick houseguest from Albuquerque, we think it’s worth the stroll.
