Here is what you need:

require 'openssl'
require 'geokit'

geo = GeoKit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.multi_geocoder('90210')
if geo.success
  geo.state # => CA
  geo.city  # => Beverly Hills
end

Or you can use:

A more lightweight option is the Area gem. 

require 'area'

'11211'.to_region #=> "Brooklyn, NY"

This works for me :

require 'openssl'
require 'geokit'

geo = GeoKit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode('90210')
geo.city
geo.state
