Which prime lens should I buy for my new Canon EOS R10?

So I finally pulled the trigger on the Canon R10 last week and I'm honestly already getting a headache trying to pick a prime lens for it. I'm taking a trip out to Seattle next month and really want something light to walk around with but everything I read online just makes me more confused. I keep seeing people rave about the nifty fifty 50mm f/1.8 because it's so cheap like under 200 bucks but then other people say on a crop sensor like the R10 it's actually like an 80mm which sounds way too zoomed in for street stuff? Like how am I supposed to get a shot of a building or a group of friends if I'm basically looking through a telescope lol.

Then I looked at the RF 35mm f1.8 and it looks better for a general walkaround lens but it's like double the price and my budget is strictly around $350-$400 max since I spent so much on the body already. I'm mostly gonna be taking photos of my dog in the park and some street shots at Pike Place. Is the 35mm really worth the extra cash or is there something else I'm missing entirely because the math with the 1.6x crop factor is just frying my brain right now. Which one should I actually get for this camera?
