Pyramid Cities?

I am talking solely about tables open to public. There may be one or two in houses, who knows.
A possibility is anywhere there are a lot of Russian (and area) immigrants. NYC? I played in a pool hall in London that had several Russian tables.

There has to be a place in New York isn't that where Philly fingers recorded his video playing it? I doubt he flew across the country just to film a video but you never know.
Well these just got put in
Pyramid can be fun because it takes awhile for a ball to go in a hole.
The satisfaction is higher, however the physicality of pyramid requires a bigger and heavier player.
It would be surprising if a short small person player pyramid well.
Kelly Fisher is ideal.

There used to be one in Key West.
Easier to make a ball on a snooker table

Not in America, but I've only found two pyramid tables in Shanghai. One in a nice restaurant, and one in someone's house. I wish there was more around to be honest, It is pretty fun to play and makes you think. It's an interesting game to play.
I often play 'Russian pool' here on a 9foot diamond. (I saw some Americans refer to it as such here on AzB forum, but actually nicknamed Philippine pool here by the Chinese and Filipino friends I play it with). Playing standard 8-ball, but the object ball is caromed off the white to be pocketed. So, has some semblance of pyramid, but not really the same thing.

Well…it doesn’t look like there’s any in the United States…except at the places that have them. 
Finnish Variation is called Kaisa Billiards and pockets are slightly tighter than Russian Pyramid tables but table size is only 11ft.
Yellow 6p. Red Balls 3p and opponent white 2p.
You can get bonus points if you take a carom to another ball while pocket object ball.
Depends how high you climb.
Correct me if I'm wrong please but RP tables are modified Snooker tables right?
Looks like pool table rails, not snooker rails. And they cut the pockets super tight.
