That is an adorable squirrel! Around here, the urban squirrels are pretty bold and will walk pretty close to people, especially if they have something edible on hand. Of course if you try to touch one (not recommended), they will speedily run off and climb a tree. I haven't seen a squirrel eat a banana before, but I wouldn't put it past them, if fruit is a part of their normal diet. I'll be that adult squirrels in the city would eat many things not part of their diet in the wild, having learned how to beg and scavenge off of people.
When I was in college, I was once very startled by a squirrel that jumped onto my leg. I shook that one off very quickly.
