StreetEasy marked its 20th anniversary by taking reservations for 2046 at 12 New York establishments, including five restaurants, two theater companies, a yoga studio and an espresso shop.
All slots were claimed within an hour on Wednesday after users entered only a name and email address and received confirmation emails for bookings 20 years in the future.
The promotion, called "Reserve Your Future," turns the company’s birthday into a long-horizon marketing stunt built around New York dining and cultural venues.
StreetEasy said it expects to still be operating in 2046, underscoring the campaign’s broader bet on longevity for both the company and participating businesses.
