Apparently East 10th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A is flowing green at the moment, as this photo by @FashionByHe shows... not sure why at the moment.
Perhaps there was a spill at one of the two Juice Press locations on East 10th Street... the sight of this lends some credence to the theory...

The green looks like anti-freeze fluid someone emptied from their vehicle, I least I hope not. The banana is a lovely accent though.
I second the coolant. Beautiful colors- Kodachrome?
Maybe the banana is leaking.
Anti-freeze has a sweet taste (so I'm told) and is toxic, which makes it especially dangerous for pets.
but terrific for rats?
This again shows us the danger of having too many freakin juice bars in the east village....
Next we will get yogurt flowing...
It looks like they parked in the new fluorescent green bike lanes.
That looks looks like the same paint as on 14th and A.

Fine, I'll say it...

Anon 6:16 - Given the winter we've had, I would be especially worried when the thaw comes and the frozen yogurt begins to break up...

Several years ago I used to see the exact same thing on a regular basis in the gutter at the curb outside Veselka, if I happened to be walking past in the early morning. For a long time I thought the corner must have been the scene of a lot of nighttime fender-benders, and assumed that the green stuff was leaked antifreeze. But I seem to recall at some point seeing a Veselka worker cleaning the sidewalk with bright green stuff out of a bottle, and having an "aha" experience.
That is to say, I was the one who had the "aha" experience, not the guy cleaning the sidewalk.
That's what they clean up the sidewalk cafés with. Toxic chemicals are another reason to object to them.
If it's antifreeze, it's super poisonous for dogs (and humans). Honestly, if it's still there, someone should call 311 and have DSNY come out to clean it up.
Its completely safe - its tracer dye used when working on sewers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye_tracing)
