Foggy Bottom is one of DC's oldest neighborhoods, named for the mists that once rose off the Potomac near its riverfront gasworks. Located in the 20037 zip code just west of downtown, the neighborhood today is defined by the George Washington University campus, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the U.S. Department of State, and the IMF and World Bank headquarters.
