Stores, shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, parks… Foggy Bottom has something for everyone. It’s home to the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center—where you can catch a free show every night at 6pm.

There are Tons of Ways to Get Outside
As the home to the southernmost end of the expansive Rock Creek Park, Foggy Bottom sits at the gateway to over 2,000 acres of trails, picnic areas, golf, stables, and breathtaking natural beauty. Foggy Bottom is also right next to the National Mall… and along the shores of the Potomac River.
There are Plenty of Ways to Get Out on the Water, Too
Living on the Potomac means more than enjoying beautiful views (though that’s a pretty nice perk, too). It also means plenty of opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle-boarding, thanks to local rental businesses like Thompson Boat Center. If you’d prefer to keep your feet dry, Rock Creek Trail is perfect for waterfront walking, jogging, or biking.
