We hear that Olympic bronze medal winning rower Giuseppe Lanzone had dinner, where else, but at the oar-themed bar the Tombs in Georgetown Friday.

Robinson had her meal with a mystery man. Also that night, both Holder and Robinson attended the Aretha Franklin concert at DAR Constitution Hall with first lady Michelle Obama.
