foggy streets
Mist-shrouded thoroughfares
Streets obscured by fog—the thick, low-lying mist that reduces visibility and muffles sound.
The phrase evokes atmospheric settings in film noir, Victorian London, or any scene where mystery lurks: The detective wandered the foggy streets, collar turned up against the damp.
Often used to set a mood of isolation or suspense.
