By street do you mean grinding, wall rises. drops, park riding? If you're going to do those I think that rules out a flatland frame as well as zero offset forks...

Lots of frames could work as a “hybrid” and some are specifically designed for that purpose.  Typically they are a double diamond design.  Check out the Haro La Bastille, S&M’s Dagger and ATF or BSD ALVX just to name a few.

Bastille is street, Dagger park, and Opera is flat only
