<p>May I add my two cents to your interesting question:<br>
So much depends on your own vision how you see the world, what are your subjects, and what you want your pictures convey.<br>
Another thing before going into gear lens details: as it was mentioned above, buy only two lenses in the beginning.<br>
Tokina 11-16 mm and Nikon 35 mm f/1.8 can form a sound basis, and if you'd want to start with them, maybe Nikon 85 mm f/1.8 or if you shoot more telephoto, maybe 70-200 mm f/2.8. And, another but as sound basis can be the above mentioned Nikon 16-85 mm.<br>
I like those 11-16, 35, 85 on my D7100. But still, particularly for street photography, I find myself using Nikon 16-85 mm most (60% of photos). The rest 40% are spread evenly between 35 mm, 50 mm and 85 mm f/1.8, and 55-300 mm. <br>
My pictures from past year are in <a href="http://2014pics.blogspot.fi/2015/01/wrapping-it-up.html">this blog</a> and background information on my gear and everyday choises is <a href="http://2014pics.blogspot.fi/2015/01/wrapping-it-up.html">in this entry</a>. I bought D7100 only in September, and pictures before that are taken with D7000.<br>
