Lots of good ideas here. I shoot a lot of nyc streets, my M6 is body of choice with either a 40mm (yes 40) or 50mm prime.
IMO rangefinders are in general quieter then slr/DSLR. I shoot 80% bnw film and develop myself. Film bodies usually even quieter in general.
Get comfortable w what you have, and consider reading, learning, and shooting a few thousand exposures to learn a bit then decide what's right for you.
I usually don't look through viewfinder of my M6 (yes it has one) and zone focus at about f8, and have 80% hit rate on decent focus. I should also say I've shot close to 10,000 exposures w my gear and am comfortable using it without looking at it.
And yes, people in nyc are more accustomed to seeing cameras, however many people don't like a camera shoved in their face.
I like the suggestion to not be afraid, and would add don't be stupid. Ymmv.

+1 on above comments.
I will add that i will typically capture both raw + jpeg when shooting. and i have noticed when importing into LR, if i have camera in monochrome mode, the raw file initially looks monochrome, but then once LR finished import/preview generation, the raw is color.
not trying to spark any LR flames, to each their own for capture catalog edit choices. :)
