Assuming you are not a citizen of a Visa Waiver Program country (and are otherwise eligible for the VWP), you need to apply for a B-2 visa at a US Consulate. The F-1 visa is only valid for study, and you will only be admitted to the country with an F-1 visa if an approved educational institution has indicated that you are a student in good standing in the SEVIS database.

There is no reason you can't apply for a B-2 visa while you have a F-1 visa in your passport, though you may be asked to explain why you didn't use your visa. As with any non-immigrant visa, you'll need to show strong ties to your home country and an intent to return home at the end of your trip.
