Rachel Nichols is planning a trip down the aisle with her boyfriend Michael Kershaw.

The 33-year-old Continuum star celebrated her engagement with Kershaw in Manhattan by taking in a Broadway show and then popping over to New York's historic Grand Central Station for a toast.

Rachel shared a cute snapshot of her and her dark-haired fiancé snuggling together at the theatre on Monday, with her hand resting on Michael's shoulder and displaying what appeared to be a huge diamond sparkler.

'ENGAGEMENT DRINKS: Thanks for all the well-wishes!' Rachel wrote in the caption. 

That message was followed by another heartfelt tweet: 'Thanks for all of the kind words about our engagement...2013 is my favorite year although I don't doubt there are even better years to come.'

The couple was obviously having a wonderful time taking in the sights and sounds of the city's railway transportation.

'There's something so soothing about the hum of Grand Central Station...,' Rachel gushed on Tuesday.

'My favorite spot in NYC with my favorite person, noon cocktails at Grand Central Station,' Michael chimed in.

Michael perhaps topped that by tweeting an adorable photo of the couple sitting close together and Rachel cradling his face with her hand.

'Best. NYE. Ever,' Michael wrote. 

This won't be Rachel's first trip to the altar - she was previously wed to Star Trek producer Scott Stuber for seven months before splitting in 2009.

Rachel will be returning for a third season on Contiuum on Syfy, which premieres in March 2014.

She plays law enforcement agent Kiera Cameron on the Canadian time-travel science fiction series.
