Foggy Bottom

gwu state dept · 20037

Foggy Bottom is a strange dating neighborhood because it is barely a neighborhood: GWU dorms ring the State Department, the Watergate complex sits at the river, and the Kennedy Center anchors the south end. The upside is logistics. Meet under the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro entrance, walk to Founding Farmers on 20th and Pennsylvania, then cut through to the Lincoln Memorial after dinner. The downside: most blocks empty out by ten on weekdays, and the restaurant bench thins fast once you leave Foggy Bottom proper. Treat it as a launch pad into Georgetown or the Mall, not a destination.
