Where can I play Russian Pyramid Billiards around Boston (New England area)?

I used to play Russian Pyramid in Minsk, Belarus 14 years ago and I miss the game since I came to the US. Pocketing balls is extremely hard on a 12' table, with balls twice as big as pool and the pockets twice as small as a pool table. Russian cues are heavier and longer, and you have to use a different technique to pocket a ball. I still have problems adjusting to pool as I still hit too hard.
I know there is a Russian billiards hall in NY, but I am curious if anyone owns a Russian table around Boston area?

Russian billiards looks interesting. There's one version where you carom the 'cue ball' in, isn't there? Is it a red cue ball that you carom in, and then take the object ball you hit off the table?
 
Using standard cueballs on a snooker table may get the same effect as on a Pyramid table, although those rounded corners would be interesting.

Even then, the only place that is open with a standard size snooker table is Amazin Billiards. The Billiards Cafe has one but they have not opened back up from Covid.
